Tidbit Tuesday: Heart Transplants

You know I love to learn new things! So I've spent the last few days research heart transplants for a new project. Here's what I've found out:

• More than 4,000 people are currently on the waiting list for a heart transplant.
• The heart nerves are cut during the transplant surgery. As a result, a transplanted heart often beats faster than the patient's original heart.
• Most heart transplant recipients have to take 20 or more drugs and supplements every day to keep his or her body from rejecting the heart or experiencing other complications.
