Minimally Invasive Surgery

Much modern cardiothoracic surgery is performed with the help of highly advanced machines that are operated externally by a surgeon. The main advantage to these machines is that they can operate through very small incisions, and this dramatically shortens the recovery time of a patient. The most advanced machines are even able to react intelligently to changes in the patient’s body. For instance, some machines can adapt to the beating of a heart, moving their arms in synch with it, so that to the surgeon operating the machine it appears as if the heart is stationary.

Want to Know More about Heart Attack, the Risk Factors, Symptoms - Heart Attack FAQ

Heart attacks are a leading killer of both men and women . The good news is that excellent treatments are available for heart attacks. These treatments can save lives and prevent disabilities.

Heart attack treatment works best when it's given right after symptoms occur.

WHATIS A HEART ATTACK?

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked for a long enough time that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies. The medical term for this is myocardial infarction.

Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, the heart is starved of oxygen and heart muscle dies.

Many risk factors may lead to a heart attack.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK?

A heart attack is a medical emergency.
Chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack. You may feel the pain in only one part of your body, or it may move from your chest to your arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area, or back.
The pain can be severe or mild. 

It can feel like:
* A tight band around the chest
* Bad indigestion
* Something heavy sitting on your chest
* Squeezing or heavy pressure

The pain usually lasts longer than a few minutes. Symptoms may also go away and come back.

Other symptoms of a heart attack can include:
* Anxiety
* Cough
* Fainting
* Light-headedness, dizziness
* Nausea or vomiting
* Palpitations (feeling like your heart is beating too fast or irregularly)
* Shortness of breath
* Sweating, which may be very heavy

Some people (the elderly, people with diabetes, and women) may have little or no chest pain. Or, they may have unusual symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness). A "silent heart attack" is a heart attack with no symptoms.

Not everyone having a heart attack has typical symptoms. If you've already had a heart attack, your symptoms may not be the same for another one. 

Symptoms may include:

* Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
* Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
* Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
* Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
* As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

CAN I HAVE EARLY SYMPTOMS BEFORE A HEART ATTACK?

While a heart attack may seem like a sudden event, many patients experience early symptoms days or even weeks before the actual heart attack.

Early symptoms are often similar to symptoms of a heart attack-chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue or an irregular heart beat-but come and go and may worsen or happen more easily with each episode.

Chest pain or discomfort while you're at rest that lasts more than 5 to 10 minutes needs immediate medical attention. Symptoms may also be different for women, who more often experience dizziness, light-headedness and flu-like symptoms. If you have chest pain or other heart attack symptoms, call 911 and seek medical attention immediately. 

It is important to recognize early symptoms of an impending heart attack and to act quickly. Waiting is a mistake. Coronary artery disease that leads to a heart attack is often treatable. Interventions during these beginnings of a heart attack can help prevent significant damage to the heart muscle or even death. 
Be aware of the following signs and symptoms: 

* Shortness of breath without exertion, difficulty breathing when doing normal activities
* Heartburn can be an early sign of a heart attack, especially if the condition becomes chronic
* Discomfort or pain, everywhere from crushing to squeezing to pressure occurring in the chest and even other areas of the body; the shoulders, neck, and jaw are areas reportedly affected prior to a heart attack
* A feeling of impending doom, anxiety and fear, especially when combined with any of the other symptoms listed above

COMMON TESTS FOR HEART FAILURE

If you suspect you have symptoms of heart failure you should talk to your doctor (normally your primary care physician / GP).

Your doctor will likely perform a thorough examination of your body and will ask you about your symptoms, your medical history and your lifestyle. It is important that you answer any questions as honestly and accurately as possible so that your doctor can make an accurate diagnosis and can work with you to find the best treatment.

If your doctor suspects you have heart failure he or she will probably suggest you have certain tests. These tests will help to show whether your heart is working properly and, if not, where the problem lies.

This section explains the tests your doctor may want you to have and what the test can show. Click on any of the tests to learn more.

Themost common tests are:

·         Medical history and physical examination

·         Electrocardiogram (ECG)

·         Blood tests

·         Chest x-ray

·         Echocardiogram

Additional tests may be able to find out more about your heart failure or identify the cause. These include:

·         Lung function tests

·         Exercise testing

·         Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

·         Cardiac catheterisation and angiography

·         Nuclear medicines techniques

·         Multi-slice Computer Tomography (MSCT)

As the symptoms presented to the doctor may vary widely between patients you may only receive a few of these tests, and it is very unlikely you will receive all of them. If you have any concerns regarding your tests, you should discuss them with your doctor.
