Understanding Heart Surgery and its Importance

Heart surgery is a critical procedure aimed at correcting heart diseases and conditions that cannot be solved through less invasive treatments. It plays a significant role in saving lives by treating complex cardiac conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart valve diseases, and congenital heart problems.

The prevalence of heart diseases is increasing globally. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases account for most of the global deaths, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. In Punjab, rising stress levels and lifestyle changes have made heart diseases more pervasive, emphasizing the importance of understanding and having access to effective heart surgery options.
