Cardiac transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients who
have severe end-stage heart failure despite maximal medical therapy
and/or complex congenital heart disease not amenable to surgical
palliation at reasonable risk. With improvements in organ preservation,
antirejection regimens and post-transplant management, survival
rates following cardiac transplantation are very good.
A heart transplant removes a damaged or diseased heart and replaces it with a healthy one. The healthy heart comes from a donor who has died. It is the last resort for people with heart failure when all other treatments have failed. The heart failure might have been caused by coronary heart disease, damaged heart valves or heart muscles, congenital heart defects, or viral infections of the heart.

Although heart transplant surgery is a life-saving measure, it has many risks. Careful monitoring, treatment, and regular medical care can prevent or help manage some of these risks.
