Abstract
Cardiac transplant recipients in the UK indicated an improvement in general health after transplantation. Respondents at 3 and 5 years after transplantation reported stability, or improvement, but no deterioration in their general health. Norm-based comparisons suggested lower HRQOL for all dimensions except mental health. Some dimensions of health identified in this study may be areas for further investigation that may ultimately be amenable to focused medical management.
