The use of dysfunctional donor hearts with impaired LV systolic function may be a realistic approach for expanding the donor pool. However, organs from such donors should be used for recipient cohorts requiring an urgent HTx, particularly for those with pretransplant mechanical circulatory support allowing for hemodynamic support in cases of early graft dysfunction in the post-transplant period.
