Abstract
A knowledge of the “normal” findings in transplant recipients is the starting point for the recognition of complications that require specific intervention. The denervation of the transplanted heart is a potential source of information about the role of cardiac innervation in humans.’ The altered physiology of these patients may affect their response to drug treatment and intercurrent disease. Physiological factors play a role in defining the therapeutic potential and limitations of cardiac transplantation. This article provides a selective review of our current knowledge about the physiology of the orthotopic cardiac transplant recipient. A number of topics have been excluded because they are covered by other articles in this issue.
