The medical condition of the person at the time of death can determine what organs and tissues can be donated and what cannot be. Organs need to be removed as soon as the person is declared brain-dead. Without the necessary oxygen supply, the organs stop functioning right.
Below are the approximate time limits within which the organs you've mentioned need to removed and transplanted,
Heart - appx. 4 hrs
Kidney - appx. 72 hrs
Hope it helps!
