@jndly508 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! As you can see from @maggieinfp's response, age was not so much a factor for her to receive a successful transplant. Other health risks are taken into consideration, and the results from a long battery of tests are a key component. There is also the psychological evaluation done.

I would encourage you to investigate additional transplant centers to ask about their requirements. Not all centers are the same. When do you anticipate your cardiologist getting back to you?
