In the submitted review the authors describe the position and importance of electrocardiographic examination after transplantation of the heart (HTx). They describe findings recorded in animal experiments, typical ECG characteristics after HTx and their importance as well as the clinical application of this method for diagnosis of electrophysiological abnormalities specially in relation to rejection and reinnervation of the graft. The authors' conclusions are based on a critical analysis of relevant data in the literature as well as their own experimental and clinical experience.
