Can a 75 year old get a heart transplant? Navigating Eligibility and Outcomes

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), there is no specific upper age limit for heart transplantation, though many transplant centers have traditionally set their own restrictions.

Patient selection is highly individualized, focusing on overall health, co-existing conditions, and projected outcomes.
