Application of Predicted Heart Mass Difference in a Canadian Cohort of Heart Transplant Recipients
Abstract
Purpose Recipient-donor sex-mismatch is a predictor of 1-year mortality after heart transplant (HT). A more granular construct for size mismatch is the difference in heart mass. A retrospective analysis of the UNOS Database showed that only the lowest undersized septile (>19%) was associated with 1 year mortality. These findings have not been validated. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of donor and recipient predicted heart mass (pHM) …
