Comprehensive assessment of heart function using diagnostic tools like echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, and coronary angiograms. Detailed evaluation of symptoms and medical history, particularly focusing on chest pain, breathlessness, and fatigue. Blood tests to check for markers of heart disease and assess overall health status. Advanced imaging, such as cardiac MRI or CT scans, to visualize heart structures and identify surgical needs. Stress tests to determine the heart’s response to physical exertion and identify areas of reduced blood flow.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) to improve blood flow to the heart in cases of severe coronary artery disease. Valve repair or replacement for damaged heart valves, using either mechanical or biological prostheses. Aortic aneurysm repair, either through open surgery or endovascular procedures, to prevent the risk of rupture. Heart transplant for end-stage heart failure or severe heart disease unresponsive to other treatments. Arrhythmia surgery, such as the Maze procedure, to correct irregular heartbeats and restore normal heart rhythm.

Regular follow-up appointments for monitoring heart function and recovery progress post-surgery. Adherence to medication regimens, including anticoagulants for patients with mechanical valves or immunosuppressants for transplant recipients. Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, exercise, and smoking cessation, to improve overall heart health. Participation in cardiac rehabilitation programs for guided exercise, education, and support in lifestyle changes. Monitoring for any signs of complications, such as infection, arrhythmias, or rejection in transplant patients.

A detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous heart treatments or surgeries. Physical examination and a series of diagnostic tests to assess your heart condition and determine the need for surgery. Discussion of potential surgical options, including the risks and benefits of each procedure. Pre-operative planning and preparation, including instructions for before and after the surgery. Our team will address any questions or concerns, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout your care.
