Heart Surgery - Everything You Should Know About It

It is a surgical operation requiring the chest to be cut open to operate on the heart.  This type of surgery involves significant risks and potential complications. Today, advancement in medical science has made it possible to operate the heart with small incisions instead of wide openings.
Reasons for an Open Heart Surgery

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)- 
This is the most common type of open-heart surgery. It is done to replace a blocked artery with a healthy artery or vein taken from another part of the body. It is performed on patients with blocked arteries or coronary heart disease.



Heart transplant- 
Today, several hospitals offer heart transplant in India
Implantation of medical devices like pacemakers
To treat irregularities such as atrial fibrillation
To rectify the heart problems present at birth
To repair defective valves of the heart.

Risks of open-heart surgery
Open heart surgery is a complicated operation, and it involves the following risks:

  • Heart attack or stroke
  • Lung or kidney failure
  • Pneumonia
  • Chest wound infection
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Severe chest pain
  • Fever
  • Memory loss or fuzziness
  • Blood clot or blood loss
  • Difficulty in breathing


Recovery from open heart surgery
After the surgery, the patient is transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for some days.  The patient remains in the hospital for a rest period of about 1-2 weeks after which he is sent back home. The first three months after the surgery are very crucial and require proper care and medical attention.
Cleanliness to avoid any infection and sufficient sleep and rest are very important after the surgery.
If you are looking for open heart surgery, it may be a good idea to contact a reputed heart hospital in Delhi.

    I am a 51 year old female that just found out I have Parkinson's, but I have been having signs of it for years, tremors, depression, body weakness. ECT. I honestly don't think my doctor was reading the signs because of my gender and age. A few years ago I had my shoulder lock up on me and I was sent to a P.T since x-rays didn't show any physical damage. My shaking was getting worse and I began falling. Only when my speech became so bad that it brought concern to my dentist was Parkinson's even considered. He phoned my doctor with his concerns about my shaking and balance problems. By this time I was forgoing shots in the back of my neck for back and neck pain to which once again I was sent to a P.T (although x-rays showed no damage) I was told I had a few spurs which were most likely causing the pain. Here I was feeling like my whole body was falling apart and doctor could not find anything wrong, maybe in was all in my head? My doctor even seemed annoyed with me and things just kept progressing and I just kept it to myself, why bother going through testing and them finding nothing? Well, it was after my second P.T called my doctor about the weakness in my legs and arms, by this time I have developed a gait in my walk and I fell more frequently. Only then did my doctor send me to a specialist and it was found that I had Parkinson's, and that I have had it for awhile. I think because I was a woman that my signs and symptoms weren't taken seriously and therefor left untreated for so long,I was taking pramipexole dihydrochloride three times daily, I Was on carbidopa levodopa but only lasted 90 minutes then wore off.I found that none of the current medications worked effective for me.I got tired of using those medication so I decided to apply natural herbs formula that was prescribed to me by my second P.T, i purchase the herbal formula from totalcureherbsfoundation. com, There has been huge progression ever since I start the treatment plan which will last for 15 weeks usage.all the symptoms and sign has begin to disappear .
