Introduction Heart transplantation (HT) is the only treatment option in children with heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathies and non-reparable congenital heart diseases. Rhythm disturbances that develop during follow-up can serve as early indicators of graft rejection and should be carefully evaluated.
