Are you on the transplant list?  Have you gotten so far down the road with heart disease that you are ready for a transplant and you haven't even had any heart surgery to date?

A heart transplant is a VERY major surgery.   Besides bding a huge surgery, it is also a big life change.  It means changing out a bad heart for a bad immune system.  You need to know a lot more about it than you are going to find out here before you come to an informed decision about a transplant.

Do all your homework.  It is a life changing decision- one that many people are involved in.  Take care of yourself.
