The following information is about Heart Transplant.
Heart Transplant Defined
A surgery which is needed when the heart becomes too weak to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs and all other options have been attempted and proven unsuccessful. Several factors will be considered and many tests performed to determine if someone is an appropriate candidate for a heart transplant. When surgery is deemed necessary, the failing heart is removed through incisions in the atria (the upper chambers of the heart), aorta and pulmonary arteries, and the donor heart is then stitched at these sites. Costly medications and frequent follow-up appointments are needed to keep the body from rejecting the new heart once it is in place.
This definition is in context to Cardiovascular Health. See more contextual defintions for Heart Transplant.
