Doctors said the next 24-hours will be critical to Dick Cheney's recovery!
The 71-year-old former Vice President had a heart transplant on Saturday.
Now there has been some contraversy.
Some argue that he is too old and received special treatment.
The cut-off age for a heart transplant used to be 55.
That's no longer the case.
Doctors said the average recipient waits three to six months for a heart.
Cheney was on the waiting list for 20 months.
