Abstract
Introduction and objectives:
The Spanish heart transplant registry updates its data annually. The current update presents the data for the year 2022.
Methods:
We describe the main clinical characteristics, treatments received, and survival outcomes including procedures performed in 2022, along with their trends since 2013.
Results:
In 2022, 311 cardiac transplants were performed, representing a 3.0% increase compared with 2021. Compared with previous years, no significant changes in demographic and clinical characteristics were observed in 2022, confirming the trends identified in the last decade. These trends indicate a decrease in urgent procedures and the use of circulatory support, particularly ventricular assist devices. In the last decade, survival rates at 1 and 3 years were 81.4% and 73.4% respectively, with a slight, nonsignificant improvement.
Conclusions:
In the last decade, there has been a stabilization in the characteristics of heart transplant procedures and their outcomes. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrial.gov (Identifier: NCT03015311).
