Yes a female heart can be transplanted into a male. Other factors are considered besides gender mismatch like height and weight and other medical problems and heart function

Yes. There are anatomic nuances that need to be respected based on the size of the recipient and donor, but it is a common practice to transplant a female heart into a male and vice versa.
