Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about heart transplantation. Our expert medical team provides clear, comprehensive guidance for patients and families.
Common Questions

Heart transplant surgery typically lasts 4–6 hours. The duration may vary depending on the patient’s condition and complexity of the procedure.

Key risks include organ rejection, infection, and side effects of immunosuppressive medications. Additional risks may include bleeding, blood clots, or kidney issues. Close monitoring minimizes these risks.

Most patients stay in the hospital for 2–4 weeks post‑transplant. This allows time for recovery, monitoring, and adjustment of medications. Some patients may need longer stays if complications arise.

Return to work usually occurs within 3–6 months, depending on overall health and job type. Light activities can be resumed earlier with medical supervision.

Yes, lifelong immunosuppressive medications are necessary to prevent organ rejection. Additional medications may be required for blood pressure, cholesterol, or infection management. Regular blood tests monitor medication effectiveness and side effects.

Heart transplants have high success rates. One‑year survival exceeds 85‑90% at most centers, and many patients live 10 years or more. Success depends on medical care, adherence to medications, and lifestyle management.

Yes, rejection can occur even years after the transplant. Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, or fever. Regular biopsies and blood tests help detect and manage rejection early.

Maintain a heart‑healthy diet, exercise under supervision, avoid infections, quit smoking and alcohol, manage stress, and attend all follow‑up appointments. These changes are vital for long‑term success.
