Do try this at home... It's 40 years today since surgeons performed the first heart transplant operation in South Africa.

And since that momentous day, 5,328 heart transplants have been carried out in the UK.

Well now how about trying out this life saving surgery for yourself - on our newly launched yheart.net website for teenagers.

Even if you don't have a steady hand, there's a virtual team of surgeons to guide you through this and other heart operation games.

You can also find out more about heart transplants and get a list of useful organisations
