Abstract:Background.
Outcomes in heart transplantation are affected by a variety of variables and patient factors. However, the impact of circadian rhythms, gene expression, and transcription remain underexplored. We thus evaluated the potential role of donor heart cross-clamp times on short-term and long-term outcomes after heart transplantation.
Methods.
A total of 31 713 heart transplants were identified from the United Network for Organ Sharing Database. Pat… Show more
