Heart Attack incidences are on the raise today despite awareness, particularly among young people mostly due to lifestyle practices.
We conduct by-pass surgeries for certain heart-attack patients either as Beating Heart Surgery or with By-Pass Machine Support. The latter is done when the patient is very sick or the block is very tight. Both approaches has good outcomes.
After the surgery, the patient must be on regular follow-up, take medications properly, maintain proper diet, control their blood sugar level, blood pressure and stress. If all these are done, then the incidence of recurrence could be reduced significantly.
