Question: Yes, it is the blood and tissue grouping that is the deciding factor, not the sex.
Answers: Yes, it is the blood and tissue grouping that is the deciding factor, not the sex.
yes.
Yes. The gender the heart is coming from doesn't matter. All that matters is that it matches up with the previous heart. Example: you don't put a huge mans heart into a small female body.
If the "new heart" can fit in.
yes the only thing that matters is that they are a correct blood match, or the body will reject the heart.
This is because your immune system will see it as a foreign body and will attack.
Also the the donor must not have any blood infections or they could be passed on to the receiving patient.
