Heart Transplant: Patient Education from University of Colorado Hospital

The transition from chronic illness to having a healthy transplanted heart calls for many psychological and social lifestyle changes. It is important for you to understand both the Heart Transplant Process and how to stay healthy after the transplant so that you can return to a normal life.

Heart Transplant: Getting a Second Opinion

A heart transplant is a major surgery. It is important to feel comfortable with both your doctors and the staff, as you will spend much time with them. University of Colorado Hospital is happy to offer a second opinion and to work with you if you choose to come to our hospital for your surgery.

All first appointments must be initiated by a referring cardiologist.

Heart Transplant Support Groups

One of our transplant nurse coordinators or social workers can provide you with area support group information or names of transplant recipients you can call. Our team is also available to provide you and your family support at any time before or after your heart transplant.
