By reviewing a large amount of related literature, this paper summarizes the current status, evaluation methods, influencing factors, and intervention strategies of medication adherence after heart transplantation, emphasizes the important role of multidisciplinary teams in improving medication adherence, and develops a discussion on the importance of transplantation multidisciplinary teams and holistic management. By integrating the research results from various fields such as medicine, pharmacy, psychology, and sociology, it provides comprehensive theoretical support and practical guidance for improving medication adherence in heart transplant patients.
