Cardiac transplantation in New Jersey.
Heart transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage congestive heart failure resulting in a one-year survival of 80 percent and a return to normal function in 90 percent of survivors. Refinements in the pre- and postoperative medical management of transplant recipients portend further benefits.
