The authors reported the prognostic impact of donor transmitted coronary artery disease in heart transplantation in their retrospective multicenter cohort study. They found that TCAD was not associated with reduced survival. However, TCAD patients showed increased risk of cardiovascular death.The authors reported the prognostic impact of donor transmitted coronary artery disease in heart transplantation in their retrospective multicenter cohort study.
