The clinical success of cardiac transplantation requires clinical cardiologists to become familiar with care of the post‐transplant patient. This review emphasizes five major post‐transplant problems: (1) infection/immunosuppression, (2) metabolic problems, (3) post‐transplant hypertension, (4) exercise intolerance, and (5) graft coronary disease. The evolution of these problems after transplantation is emphasized, so that clinical cardiologists and internists sharing the management of these patients can develop a context in which to work.
