When fatty deposits, calcium, cholesterol and blood clots
narrows the coronary arteries, it is known as coronary artery
disease. This may be chronic and cause symptoms such as chest
pain (angina) and breathlessness on exertion; or acute,
causing acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Coronary artery bypass grafting restores blood flow to the
heart muscle by adding a bypass graft (vein or artery) to
bypass the blocked area. This surgery is usually done through
an incision down the middle of the breastbone, called a median
sternotomy, but can occasionally be done through an incision
below the nipple on the left side, called a thoracotomy.
Valves inside the heart allow the blood to flow in one
direction only. Sometimes these valves narrows and cause
obstruction to the blood flow (Stenosis) or may leak, allowing
blood to flow backwards within the heart, thus resulting in
the poor efficiency of the heart functions. Out of four, the
commonly valves involved are Aortic and Mitral valve. In most
of the cases Aortic Valve is replaced, but Mitral is replaced
if at all it is not possible to repair.
