Abstract
This large report shows outcomes of graft failure and death are inferior for recipients with PPCM, which may be partly explained by younger age, higher allosensitization, higher pre-transplant acuity, and increased rejection. More research is needed to determine management strategies to improve outcomes in PPCM heart transplant recipients.
