Heart transplantation is the main therapeutic alternative for patients with advanced heart failure. The clinical-demographic characteristics of heart transplant patients are scarce in Brazil, particularly in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of heart transplant patients at the National Institute of Cardiology – RJ (Ministry of Health, Unified Health System – SUS) in the last 15 years, between 2008 and 2022. This is a retrospective cohort of 144 heart transplant patients in a single center. The mean, median, minimum and maximum values and standard deviation were used for continuous variables and the absolute and relative frequency distribution for categorical variables. The chi-square test was used to compare groups regarding categorical variables. The majority of transplant patients were male, with a mean age of less than 50 years, and maintained on optimized drug therapy for heart failure prior to surgery. Dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic ischemic heart disease were the main causes that led patients to undergo heart transplantation.References
