WHAT ARE ADVANCED HEART CONDITIONS?

Advanced heart conditions require specialised care due to significant impact on heart function and daily life.

Heart transplant 

A heart transplant involves replacing a diseased heart with a donor heart and is reserved for patients with end-stage heart failure, severe cardiomyopathy, or refractory arrhythmias.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

Patients often experience severe fatigue, breathlessness, fluid overload, and exercise intolerance before transplant. 

Evaluation involves assessing heart function and comorbidities to determine transplant eligibility. 

WHAT DOES TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?

Post-transplant care includes lifelong immunosuppressive therapy, frequent monitoring, cardiac rehabilitation, lifestyle adjustments, and infection prevention.
