Heart failure and transplant cardiology represent critical areas in the management of advanced cardiovascular disease. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. For patients with severe, refractory heart failure, heart transplantation offers a life-saving solution. The field of transplant cardiology involves the evaluation, management, and post-operative care of heart transplant recipients. With advances in immunosuppressive therapy and rejection monitoring, transplant cardiology has improved outcomes, though it still faces challenges such as organ shortage and long-term graft survival. Ongoing research in regenerative medicine and mechanical circulatory support systems continues to enhance the management of heart failure and expand options for patients awaiting transplants.
