Heart transplants are required when an individual’s heart has stopped working effectively and brings a risk to the person’s life. A person who has recently died but with a healthy heart may be a suitable donor for a heart transplant. As of 2024, Slovenia had the highest rate of heart transplants with 12.4 per million population, followed by Croatia with a rate of 10 procedures pmp.
Looking for a heart
Unfortunately, there are many cases of individuals who do not manage to survive long enough on the transplant list to receive a new heart. For example in Germany in 2024, a total of 76 individuals died while waiting for a heart transplant. While in the UK, 22 deaths were recorded in 2024 among patients waiting on a heart transplant.
