“What are the risks of a heart transplant?”

There are many risks and benefits of a transplant, it is a huge operation. Depending on the reason for having it affects the risks, but no one has a transplant without absolutely needing - it is an end-of-the-line operation. You really need to talk to your cardiologist and surgeon about these. You will be on rejection drugs also for the rest of your life.
