Sessions & Tracks

  1. Cardiac Surgery:

Cardiac surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, congenital heart defect repair, heart transplantation, and implantation of cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. These procedures aim to treat conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve disorders, and structural abnormalities.

  1. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

CABG is a common cardiac surgery procedure that involves bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. During this surgery, a healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body and connected to the blocked coronary artery, creating an alternative route for blood flow to the heart muscle. CABG is often performed to relieve symptoms of angina, prevent heart attacks, or improve overall heart function.

  1. Heart Valve Repair or Replacement

This type of cardiac surgery is performed to treat diseased or damaged heart valves. Valve repair involves preserving the original valve and correcting its functionality, while valve replacement involves replacing the valve with a mechanical or biological substitute. Common valve conditions that may require surgery include mitral valve prolapse, aortic stenosis, and mitral regurgitation.

  1. Congenital Heart Defect Repair

Congenital heart defects are present at birth and may require surgical intervention to correct structural abnormalities. Pediatric cardiac surgeons specialize in repairing these defects, which can include conditions such as atrial septal defects (ASDs), ventricular septal defects (VSDs), tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great arteries.

  1. Heart Transplantation

In cases of end-stage heart failure where other treatment options have been exhausted, a heart transplant may be considered. This complex procedure involves replacing a diseased or failing heart with a healthy heart from a deceased donor. Heart transplantation can significantly improve the quality of life and survival rate for eligible patients.

  1. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery:

Advances in technology have led to the development of minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques. These procedures involve smaller incisions, specialized instruments, and the use of robotic assistance. Minimally invasive approaches can offer benefits such as reduced scarring, shorter recovery times, and decreased risk of complications compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

  1. Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery

Thoracic surgery indicates the operations on organs in the chest, including the heart, lungs and esophagus. Thoracic surgeries cover coronary artery bypass surgery, heart transplant, lung transplant and removal of the lung affected by cancer

  1. Hypertension and Obesity

Hypertension is a major condition that significantly increases the risks of heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries.

Obesity: Obesity is a disease including an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is a health problem that increases risk of other diseases and health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and diabetes.

  1. COVID-19 and Cardiology

COVID-19 can lead to myocardial injury, which refers to damage to the heart muscle. This can occur due to direct viral invasion, systemic inflammation, oxygen supply-demand mismatch, or other mechanisms. Myocardial injury may manifest as elevated cardiac biomarkers (e.g., troponin) and can lead to acute cardiac events, including heart attacks, heart failure, or arrhythmias. Impact on Cardiac Services and Elective Procedures: During the peak of the pandemic, many hospitals had to prioritize COVID-19 patients and allocate resources accordingly. This led to the postponement or cancellation of elective cardiac procedures, such as diagnostic tests, interventions, and surgeries.

  1. Pediatric and Neonatal Cardio surgery

Pediatric and neonatal cardiac surgery is a specialized branch of cardiothoracic surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating congenital heart defects in infants, children, and adolescents. It involves surgical interventions to repair or correct structural abnormalities of the heart and blood vessels present from birth. Congenital Heart Defects and Pediatric and neonatal cardiac surgery primarily deals with congenital heart defects, which are structural abnormalities in the heart or blood vessels that develop during fetal development. These defects can range from simple conditions requiring minor interventions to complex abnormalities necessitating intricate surgical procedures.

  1. Cardiomyopathies

Cardiomyopathies refer to a group of diseases that affect the structure and function of the heart muscle (myocardium). These conditions can lead to abnormal heart muscle enlargement, thickening, or stiffness, impairing the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

  1. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Devices

Heart-Lung Machine: During CABG, a heart-lung machine, also known as a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs, allowing the surgeon to operate on a still heart. It oxygenates and circulates blood throughout the body while the heart is stopped. Cannulas and Tubing: These devices connect the patient's blood vessels to the heart-lung machine, enabling the diversion of blood flow during CABG surgery.

  1. Heart Valve Repair/Replacement Devices

Mechanical Valves: Mechanical heart valves are durable, long-lasting devices typically made of titanium or carbon. They require lifelong anticoagulant medication to prevent blood clots. Biological Valves: Biological or tissue valves are derived from human or animal tissues. They do not require long-term anticoagulation but may have a limited lifespan.

Annuloplasty Rings/Bands: These devices help reshape and support the native heart valve during repair procedures, maintaining proper valve function.

  1. Implantable Cardiac Devices

Pacemakers are small devices implanted in the chest to regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical signals to the heart muscle. They are used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate) and certain rhythm abnormalities. Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs): ICDs are devices that monitor the heart's rhythm and deliver electrical shocks if a life-threatening arrhythmia is detected. They are primarily used to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Devices: CRT devices, including biventricular pacemakers and defibrillators, help coordinate the contractions of the heart's chambers in patients with heart failure and abnormal electrical conduction.

  1. Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs)

VADs are mechanical pumps implanted in patients with severe heart failure. They help the heart pump blood and can be used as a bridge to transplantation or as a long-term therapy option (destination therapy) for patients who are not eligible for transplantation.

  1. Transcatheter Devices

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure for replacing a diseased aortic valve. A collapsible artificial valve is inserted through a catheter, typically delivered via the femoral artery. Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR): TMVR is a minimally invasive procedure to repair a leaking mitral valve without the need for open-heart surgery. Devices like the MitraClip are used to clip the leaflets of the mitral valve together, reducing leakage.

  1. Patient Education and Support:

Cardiac surgery often involves the use of medical devices that play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various heart conditions. These devices help cardiac surgeons perform complex procedures and provide better outcomes for patients.

  1. Clinical case reports in cardiology

Clinical case reports in cardiology provide valuable insights into unique or rare cases, unusual presentations of common conditions, treatment challenges, and management strategies. They contribute to the existing body of knowledge, help healthcare professionals learn from real-world experiences, and guide clinical decision-making. Here are a few examples of clinical case reports in cardiology
