What is cardiac surgery
Cardiac surgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the surgical treatment of diseases of the heart, great vessels and chest pathology. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, decreased exercise tolerance, swelling, or cardiac arrhythmias may indicate conditions that require cardiac surgery consultation.
Early diagnosis and proper qualification for surgical treatment make it possible to effectively save patients’ lives, improve cardiac function and significantly increase the comfort of life.
Diagnostics
in cardiac surgery
Accurate diagnosis is the basis for safe surgical treatment.
- ECG and Holter ECG – evaluation of heart rhythm and detection of electrical disturbances,
- Cardiac echo (echocardiography) – a detailed assessment of heart structures, valves and ventricular function,
- Transesophageal echo (TEE) – precise visualization of intracardiac lesions,
- Coronarography – imaging of the coronary arteries in ischemic heart disease,
- Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – advanced diagnostics of the vessels and structures of the heart,
- Laboratory tests – assessment of general condition, coagulation parameters, kidney and liver function.
