Other factors that may be potential contraindications to be considered are- [[Ageing|age]], [[obesity]], [[cancer]], [[diabetes]], [[Renal insufficiency|renal dysfunction]], [[peripheral vascular disease]], [[Infection|infections]], and [[Substance abuse|substance abuse.]]

*'''[[Age]]''' - Patients are considered for cardiac transplant if they are < 70 years of age; or carefully selected patients over age 70.
