Heart transplant surgery

  In this surgery that is going on for several hours, the surgeon removes the old heart from the patient and replaces the new heart with blood vessels. Also the heart is temporarily linked to mechanical wires which control its jolts.

 There is also the possibility that somewhere the body does not accept new heart or may not be able to cope with it, but the doctor uses immunosuppressants, a highly effective medicine for this. This medicine is used only after the surgery, and it is continued until you are in normal condition.

Life after surgery

Once the heart transplant process, the health process runs just like the rest of the heart. After this surgery, you have to spend 1 to 2 weeks in the hospital and take care of the doctor and nurse. Apart from this, you may have to stay in the hospital for many more days depending on your own health and condition. You can start cardiac rehabilitation programs while still in hospital. After this, when the doctor will be rest assured that your body has accepted your heart and now it is becoming active with it, then the doctor will allow you to go home.

Cardiac rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is the process in which you move slowly towards normalization after surgery. However, your heart can behave differently towards your actions in the beginning. It may be that your heart’s vibrations will not grow like before and it may be that its pulsing level becomes much easier. This can happen because the nerves that first controlled your heart were cut during surgery.
