  1. Hearts were acquired from Mid-America Transplant Services (MTS) and Washington Regional Transplant Community (WRTC). Age, gender, body mass index, and cause of death are listed for all hearts used in the study. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was provided when echocardiography was performed and made available for transplant evaluation. Groups for separate protocols were not categorized with donor information provided. CVA: cerebrovascular accident; ICH: intracerebral hemorrhage. Anoxia refers to brain anoxia. No donor hearts from victims of sudden cardiac death were included.
