In 2024, the UCLA Advanced Heart Failure Ahmanson Center for Cardiomyopathy and the UCLA Adult Heart Transplant Program celebrated 40 years of heart transplantation.

UCLA is proud to be one of the top programs in the nation with continued post-transplant outcomes exceeding national averages year after year, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Additionally, UCLA is among only a few centers in the nation that offer complex adult congenital heart patients the possibility of combined heart and liver transplantation.
