Cardiac Surgeon

A cardiac surgeon is a specialist who performs surgical treatment of the heart and major blood vessels. They specialize in providing surgical solutions when conservative treatments are not effective.

What does a cardiac surgeon do?

A cardiac surgeon diagnoses and treats various heart and vascular diseases. They perform procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve replacement surgeries, and other specialized surgical interventions. The cardiac surgeon also provides consultations regarding medical therapy before and after heart surgery.

What to expect during a cardiac surgeon consultation?

During the consultation, the cardiac surgeon thoroughly reviews the patient’s health status, symptoms, and concerns. Previous test results, such as ECG, echocardiograms, CT scans, and other investigations, are evaluated. If necessary, the doctor may order additional diagnostic tests to clarify the diagnosis and select the most appropriate treatment method.

Based on the diagnosis and the patient’s needs, the cardiac surgeon recommends treatment options. If surgery is required, the surgeon explains the procedure, possible risks, and expected outcomes to ensure the patient has a clear understanding.
