heart transplant recipients

Heart transplant recipients are individuals who have received a healthy heart from a deceased donor because their own heart was severely damaged or diseased, often due to conditions like heart failure or coronary artery disease. The procedure involves replacing the diseased heart with the donor's heart to restore blood flow and improve quality of life. After the transplant, recipients require lifelong medication to prevent rejection, monitor for complications, and maintain overall health. The goal is to enable people with serious heart conditions to regain normal activity levels and prolong their life.
