Chad was rehearsing for a concert, when he dropped to the ground because of cardiac arrest. When he was being rushed to the hospital, he fell into a deep coma. Because he already had a lack of blood flow to his brain, he required an emergency heart transplant to keep him alive as well as to wake him.

What happens if you don't get a heart transplant?
If you need a heart transplant, you will be in the list to have one. If you choose not to have a transplant, you will be on medications that will just try to ease off the symptoms that you are having. You will not have medications that will cure your condition but just buy time and make you go on each day until your heart can not take it anymore. The reason why you need a heart transplant is because your heart can not function as it normally can. Sometimes when your situation is very poor and the heart is not available for you yet (no compatible match), you may be placed in what you call a VAD (ventricular assist device) which will act as your assistant since your heart is not functioning as it should. Should you not have a VAD or qualify to have one, you will ultimately get sicker each day until your heart gives up.
