"Record-Breaking: Flying Dutchman Sets New Milestone as Longest-Surviving Heart Transplant Recipient"

Bert Janssen, a Dutchman diagnosed with cardiomyopathy at 17, has set a Guinness World Record as the longest-surviving heart transplant patient, living 39 years and 100 days after the surgery. His transplant, performed by Magdi Yacoub in 1984, has defied the average life expectancy for heart transplant patients of 16 years. Janssen aims to be an example for others and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being active.
