Removing a damaged or poorly working heart and replacing it with a healthy heart can improve one's health dramatically. My son received a heart transplant after his own heart began to fail. Prior to his heart transplant he was unable to walk more than a few feet without being out of breath, he was tired all the time, he was pale and his skin was clammy and cold to the touch. Within days of his transplant he was walking blocks, felt full of energy, his skin turned pink and he felt better. The heart does all the pumping of fresh blood throughout the body and blood carries oxygen to help the various organs and skin function better. A heart transplant saved my sons life through the remarkably generous and unselfish act by a family who had lost a loved one. I am forever grateful.

Heart transplant is only done if the heart has been terribly damaged by infection or disease, and if there are no other ways to improve heart function.
