Advanced heart failure is becoming an increasing cause of mortality and morbidity in a large number of patients. Heart transplantation is the treatment of choice for many selected patients in this group. According to the clinical status at the time of transplant, patients may have a different outcome related to the early survival, while the late results are similar and not affected by the patient's initial clinical status. All surviving patients showed recovery of kidney function as soon the cardiac output was restored to normal values. High urine output was present in a large number of patients in the early postoperative period. However, in severely ill patients with cardiac index <2.5 l/min/m2, diuretic resistance and mortality were higher.
