Cardiothoracic Surgery
Cardiothoracic Surgery aims to provide a comprehensive and complete form of surgical treatment for patients with cardiological disorders.
Overview
The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Mahkota Medical Centre focuses on the diagnosis and surgical procedures for medical conditions and diseases that affect the heart, lungs, oesophagus and other organs located within the thorax (chest) region.
Conditions
Example: “Hypertensions” or “Shortness of breath”
Heart failure
Heart failure is commonly known as congestive heart failure because of fluid buildup in the lungs, liver, legs, and feet. This serious condition happens when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
Heart Attack
A heart attack is also known as myocardial infarction. It happens when a part of the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood. Immediate treatment is needed to restore blood flow or the heart muscle will experience greater damage.
Cardiomyopathy
When the heart muscle becomes enlarged or stiff, it is known as cardiomyopathy. This causes inadequate or weak heart pumping. This heart disease can be due to many reasons, like prior heart attack, family medical history, infection and more.
Aortic aneurysm
are conditions that can affect the aorta, the major artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. An aneurysm is an enlargement in the aorta that can rupture or burst. A dissection is a tear in the aorta, which is a medical emergency
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease and one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease death in Malaysia.
Procedures
Example: “Stenting” or “ECG”
Anticoagulation Therapy
Anticoagulation therapy is a treatment that uses anticoagulant medicines that help prevent blood clots. The medicine is given to high-risk patients who are prone to getting clots. The therapy helps to reduce their chances of developing serious conditions such as strokes and heart attacks.
