Arrhythmias can lead to cardiac arrest (CA) and heart failure. When intractable, heart transplant (HTX) can become the only viable treatment. This rare, high-risk cohort has not been reported as a distinct group.

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.
