Heart Transplantation

Patients who come to Johns Hopkins gain access to the vast resources of one of the world’s premier medical institutions.  Whatever conditions face our patients, whatever challenges may arise during the transplantation process, the full resources of Johns Hopkins are available to them.

Established in 1983, the Johns Hopkins Heart Transplant Program developed an approach to treating congestive heart failure that is reducing hospital admissions, improving the quality of life for patients and lowering mortality rates.  Besides an aggressive medical approach, the program stresses intensive education and lifestyle counseling.  Johns Hopkins is proactive in maintaining or stabilizing patients awaiting heart transplants.
