      Hey Lewis

      If treated quickly enough a heart can survive a heart attack without too much damage. However if it has alreaady killed the original person then it probably won’t work properly in another person.

      You could use all the other organs though!

      I enjoyed the chat too. Thanks!

      Stay awesome
