Overview
As per the data from the Registry of the International Society of Heart and Lung transplantation[1], the number of reported heart transplants has increased slowly in the recent years, especially in North America. The overall prevalence of CAV in post-cardiac transplant patients at 1, 5 and 10 years is 8, 30 and 50% respectively.
Epidemiology and Demographics
A review of United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) heart transplant database was performed by Nagji and colleagues in 2010 [2].
