title: [Heart transplantation: indication, selection criteria and patient management].
abstract: Evaluation of potential candidates for cardiac transplantation is a difficult and wearisome process for both physician and patients. As long as we are confronted with the present situation of an increasing chronic donor unavailability, the importance of standardized, rational criteria for evaluation of heart transplantation candidates has to be emphasized, since the success of any organ transplantation depends on adequate selection of potential candidates.
