The aim: to analyze the waiting list for heart transplantation from 2010 to 2017 and to characterize recipients with chronic heart failure III–IV NYHA Class. Methods. The study comprised 997 patients (139 [14%] females and 858 [86%] males) included in the waiting list for heart transplantation the period from January 2010 to December 2017. The average age of patients on the waiting list was 49.0 ± 12.0 (from 10 to 78 years). Before making a decision on inclusion in the waiting list, all patients underwent clinical and instrumental examination, including general clinical studies, echocardiography, measurement of central hemodynamic parameters using a Swan–Gans catheter, computer and/or magnetic resonance imaging of the chest, abdominal and brain. Results. Heart transplantation was performed on 728 patients (99 females – 13.6% and 629 males – 86.4%) including 18 children aged 12 to 17 years (14.18 ± 2.07 years). Mortality in the waiting list in 2010 was 16.1%, compared with 3.2% in 2017.
