Heart transplant clock: does donor timing matter?
NCT ID NCT07301788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 200 heart transplant patients to see if the time of day the donor heart was removed affects how well the patient does. Researchers compared hearts taken during the body's rest phase (midnight to noon) versus the active phase (noon to midnight). They tracked survival and rejection for up to three years. The goal is to learn if timing can improve outcomes, not to test a new treatment.
