People who receive a heart transplant from a donor who had active COVID-19 have a higher risk of dying at 6 months and 1 year after, new research has found.
COVID can cause early signs of heart disease and damage to the heart in potential donors. Currently, there is no clear consensus on the evaluation and use of COVID-19 donors for heart transplants.from two small studies suggested similar short-term results among patients who received hearts from donors who had COVID and from those who didn't.
Of the 1,445 COVID donors, 1,017 were classified as active cases and 428 as recently resolved. Overall, 239 adult heart transplants met the criteria for the study .at 6 months and 1 year, compared to heart transplantDeath rates at 6 months and 1 year were 13.8% and 23.2%, respectively, for those who received active COVID-19 donor hearts versus 7% and 9.2%, respectively, for those who received non-COVID-19 donor hearts.
He agrees with the researchers that more research is still needed."While there appears to be a signal of harm, I think it unwise to draw too many conclusions from the data as they are presented. This analysis is unable to provide details about the mechanisms which might explain the observed increase in mortality," Pinney said.
