Although the world of advanced heart failure has intensely focused its spotlight on mechanical circulatory support, the field of heart transplantation has continued to evolve. We highlight the latest clinical and laboratory research that have affected the field of adult heart transplantation. Major scientific and clinical advances in the field of heart transplantation have focused on expanding the donor pool, refining the use of immunosuppression, and monitoring the effects of therapy.
