Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary advantage of minimally invasive cardiac surgery?
A: It utilizes smaller incisions compared to traditional sternotomy, which leads to less blood loss, lower risk of infection, and a significantly shorter recovery time.
Q: Can heart disease be prevented with lifestyle changes alone?
A: While genetics play a role, aggressive lifestyle modification—including smoking cessation, regular exercise, and lipid management—is the cornerstone of preventing progression in coronary artery disease.
Q: When can I return to normal activity after surgery?
A: Most patients start light activity within weeks, but full recovery depends on the procedure and individual health status. Our team provides a personalized rehabilitation roadmap for every patient.
