Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of donor heart procurement time based on circadian rhythm on the long-term outcomes of heart transplant recipients. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the time of day when a donor heart is procured-specifically during the circadian repression phase (00:00-12:00) versus the activation phase (12:00-00:00)-affect post-transplant survival and rejection rates in patients with end-stage heart failure?

Patients undergoing heart transplantation at the study hospital will have leftover donor heart tissue and preservation fluid collected during surgery for multi-omics analysis. These participants will then be followed prospectively for up to three years to track survival and rejection outcomes.
