Cardiac Surgeon

Cardiac Surgeon

A cardiac surgeon is a physician specializing in the surgical treatment of the heart and major blood vessels. They assist patients with congenital and acquired heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, and other complex cardiovascular conditions.

The cardiac surgeon performs precise diagnostics, determines the need for surgery, and develops an individualized surgical plan. They collaborate closely with cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care.
