Open heart surgery is a complex procedure in which the chest is cut wide open to operate on the valves and arteries of the heart. Bypass surgery is typically an open-heart surgery that is done to improve the blood flow to the heart. Your surgeon will decide the course of treatment as per your existing condition.
Narrowing or blockage of arteries is a major risk for a heart attack. In cases when medications or other treatments are not enough to improve this condition, your doctor may recommend you to undergo bypass surgery to improve the flow of blood to your heart and restore normal function.
There are some cardinal signs which point towards the presence of heart diseases in individuals. Shortness of breath during exertion or when lying down, fatigue and weakness, irregular heartbeat, swelling around the ankles or in the feet. Although some warning signs of heart diseases may not be so obvious it is always better to get yourself regularly evaluated to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Regular screening tests are a must for individuals after the age of 20 years.
Prior to any surgery, a stream of tests such as blood tests and x-rays are performed to provide essential information of your current health. Cardiac rehabilitation will start after your surgery and will include therapy, medication, monitored exercises, and activity guidelines as suggested by the surgeon.
