heart transplant protocols

Heart transplant protocols involve careful assessment to determine if a patient needs a new heart, including medical tests and evaluating overall health. Once a suitable donor heart is identified—matching blood type, size, and tissue compatibility—the recipient undergoes surgery to remove the diseased heart and replace it with the donor's. Post-surgery, patients receive medications to prevent rejection and infection. Ongoing monitoring and regular check-ups are essential to ensure the transplant's success and the patient's recovery. The process is coordinated by a specialized team to ensure safety, compatibility, and optimal outcomes.
