Heart transplantation remains a vital treatment for end-stage heart failure, yet the scarcity of suitable donor hearts makes the treatment unavailable to many patients in critical need. Addressing this critical barrier could potentially improve post-transplant outcomes and make older donor hearts a viable option.
