Heart Transplantation Protocols

Heart transplantation protocols involve several key steps to ensure a successful surgery and recovery. First, patients are evaluated to determine if they are suitable candidates, often based on their heart condition and overall health. Once approved, they are placed on a waiting list for a donor heart. When a compatible donor is found, the patient undergoes surgery to replace their damaged heart with the donor organ. Post-surgery, patients require careful monitoring and lifelong immunosuppressive medication to prevent rejection of the new heart. Regular follow-ups are essential for managing health and optimizing the transplant's success.
