Hearts Transplants
“Penn's heart failure management program
embraces continuity of care, beginning before
the first symptoms appear, to ensure consistent
and appropriate treatment throughout the course
of the disease.”
– Mariell Jessup, MD, Medical Director
Heart Failure & Transplantation Program
A National Leader in Adult
Heart Transplant
Under the leadership of Rohinton
J. Morris, MD, and Mariell
Jessup, MD, the Heart Failure and
Transplantation Program at the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
is among the most active
programs in the United States. |

The Region's
Leading Heart Transplant Program
The total number of heart transplant
procedures performed at the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
in the last decade exceeds
that of all other heart transplant
programs in the region – a
trend
that continued in 2006. |
|
Penn's survival rates at one
month, and one and three years
post-transplant consistently
exceed national averages, and
are among the highest in the state
and the region. |
