Heart Surgery

Heart surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at treating cardiovascular conditions, such as coronary artery disease, heart valve issues, or congenital heart defects. It is performed to restore normal blood flow, repair or replace damaged heart valves, or correct structural problems, improving overall heart function and reducing symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath.

The surgery can be conducted using open-heart techniques, where the chest is opened to access the heart, or minimally invasive methods that involve smaller incisions. Common procedures include coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repair or replacement. Recovery involves monitoring in a hospital setting, followed by a structured rehabilitation program to regain strength and cardiovascular health.
