Abstract
A cardiac transplant is an irreplaceable alternative for patients with terminal chronic heart failure refractive to treatment. Heart failure results from an imbalance between cardiac output and organic demand, the prominent etiology is ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension. In developed countries, it has a prevalence of 4.2%, reaching over 11.8% in adults over 65. It affects around 64.3 million people worldwide, with 9 cases for every 1000 people. This syndrome has a death rate of 56% in 5 years, making heart transplants relevant. The procedure has dramatically evolved from the beginning of animal experimentation in the early 20th century to now, where significant advances are still being made. The purpose of this review is to compile the central aspects of international and Mexico's local heart transplant history and current status, as well as a general view of what this procedure entails and possible prospective outcomes for this practice.
