haha no idea.. but i think not very long... the new heart should work perfectly and if there is no conflict to ur body or problems u should live as long as ur other parts of body can handle..
for example, a 60 years old man got a heart from a 25 yrs old man, it's like a 20 years old car with a brand new Engine... the other parts of the car won't last long enough anywayz.. get it ?
Well doing different approaches to transplants can have an impact on life expectancy. Life expectancy usually has to do with how well his body is taking in the new heart, and reacting to the medications. But different doctors and studies will tell you different things. But as long as he's tolerating his new heart he should be good into his 70's.
