Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are serious conditions that significantly affect the quality of life and can be life-threatening if not diagnosed early. Cardiovascular surgery plays an important role in taking preventive measures as well as surgical interventions in the treatment of such diseases. The prominent cardiovascular diseases are as follows:
- **Coronary Artery Disease**: This disease, which occurs as a result of narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that feed the heart, increases the risk of heart attack. Bypass surgery is a frequently used method in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
- **Heart Valve Diseases**: Conditions such as narrowing (stenosis) or incomplete closure (insufficiency) of the heart valves make it difficult for the heart to pump blood. Valve replacement or repair are the methods used in the surgical treatment of such conditions.
- **Aneurysm**: An aneurysm is an expansion or ballooning that occurs as a result of weakening of an artery wall. Arterial aneurysms may require emergency surgical intervention because they carry the risk of rupture.
- **Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency**: Varicose veins, which occur as a result of the expansion and tortuosity of superficial veins in the legs, manifest themselves with venous insufficiency symptoms. Varicose vein surgeries or laser treatments can treat these conditions.
- **Peripheral Artery Disease**: This disease, which occurs as a result of the narrowing or blockage of the veins in the legs, can cause leg pain while walking. Surgical treatment aims to eliminate vascular blockages.
Methods Applied in Cardiovascular Surgery
Cardiovascular surgery is performed with different surgical techniques depending on the type of disease and the general health status of the patient. The Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Private Jimer Hospital offers the most appropriate treatment methods to our patients:
- **Varicose Vein Surgery and Endovenous Laser Treatment**: In varicose vein treatment, the dilated veins are surgically removed or the veins are closed with the help of a laser. These methods are applied to eliminate pain and aesthetic problems caused by varicose veins.
Post-Operative Care and Rehabilitation
Post-operative care is of great importance for our patients to recover as quickly as possible after cardiovascular surgery and to return to their normal lives. At Özel Jimer Hospital, our patients are closely monitored in the intensive care unit after surgery and all vital functions are kept under control. In the post-operative period, physiotherapy and rehabilitation services are also provided so that patients can regain their mobility and return to their daily activities.
In the post-operative period, our patients are provided with the necessary training on healthy nutrition, regular exercise and medication use, aiming to protect their heart health. Our aim is to ensure that our patients regain their health as soon as possible and to increase their quality of life.
Recommendations for Protecting Cardiovascular Health
- **Healthy Diet**: In order to protect your heart and vascular health, it is important to avoid saturated fats and trans fats and to follow a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats.
- **Regular Exercise**: Moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes a week helps protect your heart health. Activities such as walking, swimming and cycling are beneficial for your heart health.
- **Limit Smoking and Alcohol Use**: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Quitting these habits provides great benefits for your heart health.
- **Stress Management**: Chronic stress can have negative effects on your heart health. Stress management techniques, meditation and relaxation exercises can help protect your heart health.
- **Regular Check-ups**: Regular doctor check-ups should be performed to control risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Managing these risk factors is important in preventing heart disease.
