Overview
Our heart transplant program is backed by state-of-the-art technology, cutting-edge medical interventions and wisdom of more than two decades of cardiac care experience. We have performed many path breaking heart transplant surgeries since 2018.
A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. Heart transplant is a treatment that is usually reserved for people who have tried medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven't improved sufficiently and go into severe heart failure, refractory to any other management.
While a heart transplant is a major operation, your chance of survival is good, with appropriate follow-up care. When faced with a decision about having a heart transplant, know what to expect of the heart transplant process, the surgery itself, potential risks and follow-up care.
A heart transplant may be done to treat:
- Severe heart damage after a heart attack
- Severe heart failure, when medicines, other treatments, and surgery no longer help
- Severe heart defects that were present at birth and can't be fixed with surgery
- Life-threatening abnormal heartbeats or rhythms that do not respond to other treatments
Factors that determine the candidacy for Heart Transplant
- Age: The most prospective heart recipients must be under 60 years old.
- Health: If a patient has had other life -threatening health issues like multiple organ failure, Cancer, or other serious medical conditions will not go into transplant list.
- Attitude: The patient must commit to changing your lifestyle. This includes exercising, eating healthy, and quitting smoking if you smoke.
