Multicenter Study
Clinical outcomes in overweight heart transplant recipients.
Few studies have examined the impact of patient weight on heart transplant (HT) outcomes. ⋯ Overweight HT patients had better survival, but more rejections, CAV, and diabetes. Non-overweight HT patients had worse survival, plus more re-hospitalization time, lymphoma, and renal dysfunction.
