Department overview
Cardiac Surgery involves the surgical management of certain conditions affecting the heart and major blood vessels. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may be considered for coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects and other structural abnormalities of the heart. Patients undergo clinical evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. The cardiac surgical care pathway may include specialist consultation, diagnostic investigations, pre-operative assessment, surgical planning and post-operative monitoring. Coordination between cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthesiologists, intensivists and other healthcare professionals is important for supporting patients throughout the treatment process. After surgery, patients may require close monitoring, medication management, respiratory support when indicated and a structured recovery plan. Follow-up care and cardiac rehabilitation may also help patients work towards improved functional capacity and long-term cardiovascular health.
Cardiac Surgery focuses on the assessment and surgical management of selected heart and major blood vessel conditions. Clinical evaluation may involve reviewing symptoms, medical history, cardiac imaging and other diagnostic findings to determine whether surgery is appropriate. Treatment planning considers the nature and severity of the condition, the patient's overall health and the potential benefits and risks of intervention. Depending on the diagnosis, cardiac surgery may involve procedures to improve blood flow to the heart, repair or replace damaged heart valves, or correct certain structural and congenital heart abnormalities. Pre-operative assessment, anaesthesia, intensive care monitoring and post-operative recovery support form important parts of the surgical care pathway. Long-term follow-up and lifestyle guidance may be recommended according to individual needs.
