Cardiovascular and thoracic surgery is a highly specialized field of medicine that focuses on surgical procedures involving the heart, lungs, esophagus, and major blood vessels within the chest. At Rajan Hospital, we understand that facing such a surgery can be daunting. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting these vital organs, from diagnosis to recovery. This type of surgery can address a wide range of issues, including coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, lung cancer, and congenital heart defects. Our expert team utilizes advanced techniques to restore health and improve quality of life for patients requiring cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
What Causes and Increases Your Risk for Thoracic Issues?
Several factors can contribute to the need for thoracic surgery. Understanding these can help in early detection and prevention,
- Smoking: A major risk factor for lung cancer, emphysema, and other lung diseases.
- Exposure to environmental toxins: Such as asbestos or radon, increasing the risk of lung conditions.
- Genetics: A family history of lung or heart conditions can increase your susceptibility.
- Infections: Severe lung infections can lead to chronic damage requiring intervention.
- Age: The risk of certain heart and lung conditions increases with age.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Conditions
Symptoms related to cardiovascular and thoracic issues can vary widely depending on the specific condition, but common signs to watch out for include:
- Chest pain or discomfort: This can range from mild to severe and may indicate heart problems.
- Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing, especially with exertion, can be a sign of lung or heart issues.
- Persistent cough: A cough that doesn't go away, particularly if accompanied by blood, warrants attention.
