Abstract

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the profile of heart transplants performed in Brazil from 2014 to 2023. Methods: Time series with data from the Brazilian Transplant Registry from 2014 to 2023. Heart transplant indicators in the Brazilian regions were evaluated, using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Results: Despite the population growth, the estimated need for heart transplants remained stable, above the number of procedures performed. During 2020, there was a drop in the number of transplants. The number of patients on the waiting list, teams registered to perform the procedure and Intra-Hospital Committees for Organ and Tissue Donation for Transplantation increased. Conclusion: Regions with more inhabitants and better infrastructure had more heart transplants, showing regional inequalities in access to the procedure. The reduction in 2020 may be a reflection of the Covid-19 pandemic. The increase in registered teams signals efforts to expand the capacity of the National Transplant System. 

Keywords: Heart Transplantation; Demographic Indicators; Epidemiology; Public Health.
