Abstract:
A 32 year old patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy underwent heterotopic heart transplantation with a small donor heart. Monitoring of this unusual clinical setting of two hearts beating independently in one chest required special technique and scrutinous interpretation so one can differentiate donor heart from recipient heart immediately.
