“…Although previous studies have shown that the QoL of patients with chronic heart failure improves significantly from before up to 10 years after HTx [9][10][11], we know little about the mental, physical, and psychological well-being of patients who have survived more than 20 years after HTx. A study by Galeone et al which specifically examines the QoL of patients ≥20 years post HTx uses a nonmatched control group, thus limiting the generalizability of the statistical conclusions [12].…”

BackgroundSurvival rates after heart transplantation (HTx) have significantly improved over the last decades. There is a growing need to understand the long‐term psychological and somatic outcomes, which constitute quality of life (QoL), for these long‐term survivors.MethodsThe QoL of patients (N = 75) living 20–31 years (M = 24.9 years, SD = 2.3 years) after orthotopic HTx was evaluated. In a first step, a detailed overview of the patients’ somatic condition was assessed. Secondly, patients were compared to 58 control subjects in terms of self‐reported QoL (SF‐36) and psychological domains (GBB‐24; HADS). Finally, a cluster analysis was conducted to identify patterns within the patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) and to relate them to somatic, psychosocial, and demographic variables.Results95.7% of the HTx‐patients were in NYHA functional class I or II, and only 15.2% had a reduced LVEF. Compared to controls, long‐term HTx patients had significantly lower scores on the physical component summary (PCS) of QoL and on the GBB‐24 but not in the mental component summary (MCS) of QoL, or anxiety and depression (HADS). Clustering revealed two distinct groups of patients characterized by high versus low functioning and different levels of social support.ConclusionsLong‐term survivors have a good functional, cardiac, and mental status, but report a lower physical QoL and higher levels of subjective complaints. The importance of social support for HTx recipients is once again highlighted.
