Management and long-term followup of outpatient care in the cardiac transplant recipient.
Successful long-term management of the cardiac transplant patient requires the concerted effort of the patient, the cardiac transplant team, and the primary care physician. The long-term management of these patients will continue to evolve as new immunosuppressive agents are used and new methods of surveillance for rejection are found. The long-term management is indeed one of the most exciting parts of the care of the transplant patient, especially when all those involved can watch the patient enter into a normal lifestyle.
