Today, May 8, 2023, the first heart transplant took place in the city of Poltava! The recipient was a 49-year-old man from the Kyiv region with a frightening diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy. And now, his new heart is already working. We wish him a speedy recovery and good health!

We thank the entire team of the Heart Institute and colleagues from the Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after M. Sklifosovsky.
We express great gratitude to the donor’s family and relatives.
The Heart Institute’s team:
