Abstract
Advances in heart transplantation and post-operative rejection therapy have given new hope to patients with end-stage congestive heart failu re and cardiomyopathies. The growing numbers of pre- and post-transpla nt patients and the complexity of their care underscore the need for a multispecialty approach to patient management. This study examines th e success of a multiservice program at Brooke Army Medical Center whic h offers pre- and post-transplant care to active duty, dependent, and retired military personnel.
