Heart Transplant
In some severe cases when your heart is seriously damaged, a heart transplant might be the last resort. This procedure involves the replacement of the whole organ from a healthy donor. If succeeded, it would extend your lifespan and improve the quality of life. However, it might take a long time to find a suitable donor. There are two forms of heart transplant: heterotopic and orthotopic. The latter is the most common one as it will remove the old heart and replace with a new one. Keep in mind that this option is not for everyone. Therefore, consult your doctor carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. [17]
