Heart Transplant
A heart transplant is a treatment option for end-stage heart failure. Patients
who undergo a heart transplant are symptomatic despite undergoing optimal
medical treatments or even surgery.
During a heart transplant procedure, world-renowned Newark Beth Israel
heart transplant surgeons remove a diseased or damaged heart and replace
it with a new one from a donor.
A heart transplant may be used to treat
:
Cardiac amyloidosis
Cardiac tumor
Cardiomyopathy
Congenital heart disease
Heart failure
Inherited cardiovascular disease
Pulmonary hypertension
Most patients who undergo a heart transplant see a dramatic improvement
in their quality of life. They can resume daily activities, work, exercise,
and hobbies.
Heart Transplant Success/Rejection
Heart transplant success or rejection depends on numerous factors. The
most important of which is the ability to stop the body from attacking
the new heart.
Taking postsurgical medications as prescribed plays a huge role in overall
heart transplant success or rejection. Additional factors that influence
success or rejection are patient and donor-specific.
A heart transplant rejection can be treated.
Heart Transplant Survival/Life Expectancy
Heart transplant survival rates and life expectancies are higher than ever.
There is a dramatic increase in survival rate one year after surgery.
As with all surgical procedures, there are possible heart transplant complications.
Taking a proactive approach to recovery reduces complication risks and
improves the chances of 1-year and beyond survival.
Heart Transplant Criteria
Congestive heart failure is a chronic condition that affects the ability
of the heart to supply blood and oxygen to the rest of the body. Patients
who reach the end stage of heart failure may be candidates for a heart
transplant.
There are more people with end-stage heart failure than there is donor
hearts. Heart transplant contraindications are conditions that render
a person ineligible for transplant. Proper recipient selection help ensure
heart transplant success.
Patients who meet certain heart transplant criteria are put on a heart
transplant waiting list.
Heart Transplant Recovery
Heart transplant recovery starts after surgery. Although every patient
recovers differently, there are general recovery guidelines and a general
recovery timeline.
Recovery does not end after discharge from the hospital. Taking a proactive
approach to recovery involves taking care of the new heart well beyond
the day of surgery. The Newark Beth Israel heart transplant team is with
you every step of the way.
Heart Transplant Cost
Patients should not let costs deter them from a heart transplant. While
it is true that numerous factors need to be considered when considering
heart transplant cost, education and planning are what enable patients
to be financially prepared.
There is more than one way to pay for a heart transplant. Secondary and
supplemental insurance plans can be helpful, and so can learning how to
navigate insurance.
