GENERAL INFORMATION

What is Cardiovascular Surgery (CVS)?

Cardiovascular Surgery is a medical discipline that focuses on the heart and blood vessels, encompassing surgical procedures required for the treatment of diseases in these areas. The heart is at the center of the body's circulatory system, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells while removing waste products such as carbon dioxide. To maintain these vital functions, the heart and vascular system must remain healthy. Cardiovascular surgery is utilized in cases where medication is insufficient or a more effective solution is necessary. This discipline includes surgical interventions targeting the heart, major vessels, and other blood vessels in various parts of the body. Procedures performed by cardiovascular surgeons are tailored to the patient's specific condition and aim to improve health and enhance quality of life.
