"Cardiac Surgery in the Adult"

"Cardiac Surgery in the Adult" refers to medical procedures performed on the heart to treat various conditions like coronary artery disease, valvular problems, or congenital defects that persist into adulthood. These surgeries aim to restore normal blood flow, repair or replace damaged heart valves, or correct structural issues, often using techniques like bypass surgery, valve repair, or transplantation. Advances in surgical methods, anesthesia, and postoperative care have improved safety and outcomes. These procedures are typically carried out in specialized hospitals by a team of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and anesthesiologists, with the goal of improving heart function and quality of life.
