FAQ's
In most cases, heart failure progresses relentlessly, so much so that the condition becomes refractory to all available medical treatments. That is when the patient is advised cardiac transplant.
Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen.The most common conditions that can lead to heart failure are coronary artery disease with previous heart attack, high blood pressure and cardiomyopathies.
Heart Transplant procedure includes taking a functioning heart from a deceased organ donor and implant it into the patient. The patient's own heart is either removed or replaced with the donor heart or, in some less common cases, left in place to support the donor heart.During the surgery, the patient is placed on a heart-lung machine that allows the body to receive vital oxygen and nutrients from the blood when the patient's heart is being operated on.
Risks associated with Heart Transplants:
- Rejection – When the immune system recognises the transplanted heart as foreign and attacks it.
- Graft Failure – If the new donor heart fails and isn't able to function.
- Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy – When walls of the coronary arteries in the new heart become thick, hard, and less stretchy.
- Infections
- Medication side effects
