Cardiac Science

It includes general cardiology, cardiothoracic surgeries, pediatric cardiac surgeries, and interventional cardiology.  Cardiac or heart surgeries are done to repair the abnormal or damaged structures of the heart, implant medical devices to control or support the heart function, or transplant a healthy heart to replace the damaged one.

Different types of surgeries are performed based on the reason for the operation and the heart condition. Some of the types of heart surgeries include - aortic surgery, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, valvular surgery, congenital heart surgery, arrhythmia surgery, heart transplant, etc.

Pediatric cardiology involves the treatment of structural disorders of the heart and the complications related to it. Cardiothoracic surgery involves the surgical treatment of disease of the heart and lungs. Interventional cardiology involves the management of coronary artery disease and its complications.
