Heart transplantations have been carried out for one year (1.9.1990-1.9.1991) in Denmark. Twenty-three out of 27 patients survived at the end of this period. Prior to transplantation, all of the patients were in NYHA groups III or IV. On discharge, all of the patients could manage a 45-60 minutes training programme followed by a stair test (two to six floors up). Prior to transplantation, 17 patients received financial aid in one form or another and one child received special schooling. On an average 165 days (1.9.1991) after transplantation, nine patients were in full or part-time employment, two were students, seven received financial aid and five were still in hospital. A correlation between the duration of financial aid before transplantation and return to work after transplantation was found. In addition, age was found to be of significance. It is concluded that physical status and return to work are satisfactory.
丹麦在1990年9月1日至1991年9月1日期间进行了为期一年的心脏移植手术。在此期间结束时，27名患者中有23名存活。移植前，所有患者均属于纽约心脏协会（NYHA）III级或IV级。出院时，所有患者都能够完成45至60分钟的训练计划，随后进行楼梯测试（爬两到六层楼）。移植前，17名患者接受了某种形式的经济援助，一名儿童接受了特殊教育。移植后平均165天（1991年9月1日），9名患者全职或兼职工作，2名是学生，7名接受经济援助，5名仍住院。发现移植前经济援助的持续时间与移植后重返工作岗位之间存在关联。此外，年龄也被发现具有重要意义。结论是身体状况和重返工作岗位情况令人满意。
