A heart transplant was done for the first time in India on this day in the year 1994. According to the report of Myoclinic, a heart transplant is an operation, in which the damaged heart of the patient is removed and replaced with the heart of the person who donates the organ. A heart transplant is a treatment that is usually done for people whose hearts cannot be cured by drugs or other surgery. After a heart transplant, the patient's chances of survival increase.
When a person's heart fails and the heart does not work even after all the treatments, then there is a need for a heart transplant in that condition. Generally, the risk of heart failure increases due to the weakening of the heart muscles (cardiomyopathy), coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, and congenital heart problems.

After a heart transplant, the patient can live his life for a long time without any problems. Although heart transplant is more successful in young people.
