Abstract
Cardiac transplantation has become an increasingly common operation and many patients who have transplanted hearts may require anesthetic care at any time. Management of the recipient is similar to managing any patient with severe cardiac failure before the new heart is implanted. Following transplantation the problems are those of the denervated heart and the problems associated with the immunosuppressive agents used for transplantation.
