What is bypass heart surgery and when is it needed?

Bypass heart surgery is a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked arteries. It is typically recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease or persistent angina.

What are the benefits of minimally invasive heart surgery?

Minimally invasive heart surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced techniques to reduce pain, decrease hospital stay, minimize scarring, and promote faster recovery compared to traditional open procedures.

What is atrial fibrillation (AFib) and how is it treated?

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular heart rhythm condition. Treatment options can include medication, lifestyle modification, and interventional procedures based on the severity and symptoms.

How is arrhythmia diagnosed and treated at AB Heart Care?

Arrhythmia is diagnosed using ECG, Holter monitoring, and other tests. Treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or procedural interventions like ablation depending on the type and severity.
