Heart transplant allocation system

The heart transplant allocation system prioritizes patients based on medical urgency, benefit, and survival likelihood. Factors like the severity of heart failure, time on the transplant list, blood type, and geographic proximity are considered to ensure fair and effective distribution. The goal is to match donated hearts with patients who need them most urgently while maximizing overall success rates. The system often uses scoring models or tiers to rank candidates, balancing fairness with medical need to improve outcomes for transplant recipients.
