Heart transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage cardiac disease and a major stressor to patients and their families. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on patient and family adjustment to heart transplantation during the stages from pre-transplantation to post-transplantation. Most authors indicate that patients and families adjust well to heart transplantation. Support groups are a positive resource for heart transplant patients and their families.
