Frequently Asked Questions

Cardiovascular_and_Thoracic Surgery_faq

Q.1 What is cardiology, and what conditions does it address?
Ans: Cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and vascular (blood vessel) diseases. It deals with conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular disorders.
Q.2 What is cardiovascular surgery?
Ans: Cardiovascular surgery involves surgical procedures on the heart, blood vessels, and thoracic (chest) organs. It includes coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair/replacement, and aortic aneurysm repair.
Q.3 What are some common symptoms of heart problems?
Ans: Common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, and swelling in the legs or ankles. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
Q.4 What is the role of a cardiologist?
Ans: Cardiologists specialise in diagnosing and managing heart conditions. They perform tests like ECGs, echocardiograms, and stress tests and can prescribe medications, lifestyle changes, or recommend procedures when necessary.
Q.5 What is a cardiac catheterisation, and why might I need one?
Ans: Cardiac catheterisation is a procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. It involves threading a catheter through blood vessels to assess coronary artery blockages, perform angioplasty, or place stents.
Q.6 What is open-heart surgery, and how do I prepare for it?
Ans: Open-heart surgery is a procedure in which the chest is opened to access the heart. Preparing for it involves medical evaluation, discussions with your surgeon and anaesthetist, and following preoperative instructions carefully.
Q.7 How long is the recovery after heart surgery?
Ans: Recovery varies based on the type of surgery and individual health. Typically, patients stay in the hospital for several days to weeks and then require a period of rehabilitation and follow-up care.
Q.8 What lifestyle changes can help prevent heart disease?
Ans: Lifestyle changes include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, managing stress, and controlling conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Q.9 What is a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and when are they needed?
Ans: Pacemakers and ICDs are devices implanted under the skin to regulate heart rhythm. Pacemakers help control slow heartbeats, while ICDs monitor and treat life-threatening arrhythmias.
