From July 1982 through February 1985, 52 patients underwent an orthotopic heart transplantation at the Texas Heart Institute. Immunosuppressive therapy consisted of cyclosporine and corticosteroids. Compromised preoperative nutritional status did not preclude acceptance into the heart transplant program. However, nutritional assessment provided a means of identifying patients who may benefit from preoperative nutritional support. The goal of postoperative nutritional therapy was to provide adequate nutrients to promote rapid wound healing and minimize complications associated with suboptimal nutritional status.
从1982年7月至1985年2月，52例患者在德克萨斯心脏研究所接受了原位心脏移植。免疫抑制治疗包括环孢素和皮质类固醇。术前营养状况不佳并不妨碍患者进入心脏移植项目。然而，营养评估提供了一种识别可能从术前营养支持中获益的患者的方法。术后营养治疗的目标是提供足够的营养，以促进伤口快速愈合，并将与营养状况欠佳相关的并发症降至最低。
