“…The life expectancy of heart transplant patients has improved considerably, due to the very favorable results of cardiac Tx in recent years, with current survival rate of 80%, 70% and 60% at one, five and ten years, respectively [18]. This study corroborates this estimate, once found the value of 70.8% survival after approximately four years of cardiac Tx.…”

“…In addition, transplant patients face late complications, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, among others 12 . Rejections, infections and the obstruction of coronary arteries, which causes heart attack 13 , are the main causes of death among these patients.…”

“…For example, among 82 Brazilian HTRs, 38% of pretransplanted patients were already overweight/ obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m 2 ), and this proportion increased to 53% by 12 months posttransplant. 7 Among 3,540 US HTRs, 54% were overweight/obese at the time of transplantation, further increasing to 74% at 12 months posttransplantation. 8 The first 12 months following transplantation is critical as excessive weight gain during this period influences transplant outcomes such as graft rejection.…”

“…11 Similarly, among 89 Swiss HTRs, BMI increased from mean 25.3 kg/m 2 at transplantation to 26.2 kg/m 2 24 months posttransplant, 12 whereas Brazilian HTRs' mean BMI increase was much greater in the same period: from 23.8 kg/m 2 pretransplantation to 26.7 kg/m 2 following 24 months transplantation. 7 Such findings suggest that the extent of weight gain in HTRs may be greater in countries with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the general population. 13,14 The tendency to increase weight appears to continue after 12 months up to 5 years posttransplantation, with cardiometabolic markers such as blood glucose and total cholesterol increasing in parallel.…”
