Abstract
At 5 to 6 years after heart transplantation, patients were very satisfied with their QOL, although differences in level of satisfaction were identified by demographic variables, and areas of QOL with lower levels of satisfaction were identified. Understanding those variables that contribute to QOL in the long term after heart transplantation provides direction for assisting patients to improve their QOL.
