transplant cardiology

Transplant cardiology is a specialized area focused on caring for patients who have received or need heart transplants. It involves managing the unique challenges of transplant patients, such as preventing organ rejection, monitoring heart function, and addressing complications. This field combines advanced medical assessments, immunology, and teamwork to improve patients' quality of life and survival. Essentially, transplant cardiologists work to ensure that the transplanted heart functions well and that patients remain healthy, adapting treatment plans as needed to support long-term success after a heart transplant.
