Heart Transplant - VT and Heart Failure
My docs are doing a workup for a hear transplant. I have had a successful ablation for mt VT recently and so far have been doing well. We are exploring this as an option for the near future. Has anyone out there recently had a transplant? I'd like to know how you are doing, any concerns you may have and any advice???
My father had a heart transplant back in 1988. He was 42. He had a massive heart attack on the LAD (widow maker) and needed a heart transplant right away. He was on a waiting list for 5 months. He had it done at temple university hospital in Philly.
He'll be 70 on April 1. It was like nothing ever happened. Back to full time work in 6 months and hasn't missed a day since. He's still working full time.
He didn't have any other health issues which was in his favor.
