Abstract
Children with RCM awaiting HTx have a generally low waitlist mortality and reasonable overall survival. Children requiring mechanical support and infants had a significantly higher risk of death while waiting. Further study is warranted to identify factors important in determining the optimal timing of listing in children with RCM before the need for inotropic or mechanical support.
