Abstract

  • Hypertension is a common complication among post cardiac transplant recipients affecting more than 95% of patients. Increased blood pressure poses a significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients; it should be identified quickly and needs to be managed appropriately. Understanding the pathophysiology and contributing factors to this disease in these complex and unique patients is the key to appropriate treatment selection.
