It is also intended to be used as a reference and to lead you from the assessment stage through life after transplant. The information reflects current practice (Summer 2007) and will be subject to change with time.

The 'Heart Info' pages aims to give you the information you need to understand what a transplant means for you and your family. It is important that you read this information now. No one expects you to read this in one go; it is more useful to read it in sections. This way you will absorb the information better. Why not discuss the section you have read with your partner or a friend and list any questions that you may want to ask when you come to the hospital.
