Study: More People Waiting To Receive A Heart Transplant Are Surviving Over A Year

Thirty years ago, just over 33% of people on waiting lists for heart transplants lived for a year or more.

A heart transplant is necessary for people whose diseased hearts no longer can function on their own.

Now, UPI reports a new study reveals more than two-thirds of such people on waiting lists survive for at least one year until a donor organ becomes available.
