At present, there is hardly any person who does not know about Coronary Artery Disease or CAD. The rate of coronary diseases is getting increased hugely in recent days, and the mortality rate has also increased a lot.
Our body contains two types of cholesterol– one is LDL or bad cholesterol, and another one is HDL or good cholesterol. Once the level of the bad cholesterol gets increased, it builds plaques on the walls of the arteries. This plaque narrows the path through which the heart gets the supply of oxygenated blood.
The primary symptom of CAD is the feeling of heaviness in the chest. It is also known as angina. Persons who suffer from angina also face the problem of shortness of breath.
What is Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?
Due to the narrow arteries, the heart does not get proper blood supply, leading to coronary artery disease. To offer the best treatments to the patients, doctors suggest treating the blockage in the heart.
Process of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery:
Once doctors suggest bypass surgery, the doctor will ask the patients about their medical history. The doctors will also conduct physical testing and blood test. The surgery takes overall 3 to 6 hours, and doctors use normal anesthesia.
Risks involved in the bypass surgery:
The possible risks of coronary bypass surgery are mentioned below-
-
Patients can face bleeding during or after the surgery
-
Blood clots can occur, which can create the issues like stroke, heart attack and lung ailments.
-
The incision point of the patient can get infected.
-
Patients can suffer from pneumonia
-
Suffering from breathing problems and kidney failure can also occur.
Hence, after the surgery, doctors always suggest taking proper care of your health and diet to not feel any trouble later.
