What is Heart Transplant?

Heart Transplant is a medical procedure performed by qualified surgeons. Speak with a verified specialist on SurgeonNear to get a complete assessment of your condition and the best treatment plan.

Symptoms of Heart Transplant

Common signs that you may need Heart Transplant include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.

How is Heart Transplant Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Heart Transplant.

Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical

Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Heart Transplant is advised.

How is Heart Transplant Performed?

Heart Transplant is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Heart Transplant. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
