    Abstract: Approximately 100 cardiac transplants are performed yearly in the UK. The choice of maintenance immunosuppression regimes, however, varies due to the dearth of evidence. Tacrolimus and ciclosporin are used most commonly. An added benefit of tacrolimus has been suggested due to reduced rejection rates and side effect profile, particularly nephrotoxi... Show More
