    FAQ's

    A heart attack is a medical emergency that is usually triggered by the obstruction of blood flow to the heart due to a blood clot. When the blood supply is cut off, the surrounding tissues lose oxygen and get damaged.

    A patient experiencing a heart attack usually gets pain in the chest, arms, neck, and jaws. They may also encounter cold sweat, heartburn, indigestion, dizziness, nausea, or difficulty breathing.

    In nearly four decades, cardiologists at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, have impacted the lives of three million individuals, achieving a success rate of over 99%. Pioneering various cardiac procedures in India, our department is furnished with advanced diagnostics, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), along with essential infrastructure like cath labs and CT-OT. We also provide a comprehensive rehabilitation program, incorporating a homecare recovery program. These advanced treatment methods and rehabilitative programs coupled with compassionate doctors, make Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills the best hospital for cardiology in Hyderabad.

    If you are overweight or obese and have hypertension, diabetes, any hormonal problems, are over 45 years of age, or have a family history of heart attacks, leading an unhealthy lifestyle, you are at a risk for developing a heart attack.

    Heart attack, heart failure, unstable angina (heart pain), arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats), coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular diseases, etc. are some of the common cardiac conditions.

    CABG, or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, is the gold standard procedure for coronary revascularization. During this surgery, surgeons create new pathways using arteries or veins from the patient’s own body to restore proper blood flow to the heart muscle. This procedure is often referred to as “bypass surgery.”

    Over nearly 40 years, the cardiologists at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, have conducted more than 25,000 CABG procedures. We also provide Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (MIDCAB), a notable advancement in CABG. In MIDCAB, a keyhole incision is made on the left side of the chest, between the ribs, eliminating the need to cut bones. This innovative approach results in minimal scarring, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery.

    By incorporating these steps into your lifestyle, you can reduce the risk of heart disease Eat healthy: Limit the intake of salty or sugary foods, processed or packaged foods, and foods rich in potassium. Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. Maintain a healthy weight: If you are overweight or obese, try to bring your weight to a healthy range by eating healthy and being physically active. Be active: Be physically and mentally active by engaging in an exercise or other activities like jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing, etc. Stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Keep your blood pressure and diabetes under control with routine check-ups.

    In minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), patients undergo only a 3-4 inch incision, unlike conventional heart surgery, which necessitates a larger 6-8 inch incision. This means you experience minimal blood loss, a faster recovery period, less discomfort, a shorter hospital stay, and a reduced risk of infection.

    The cardiothoracic surgeons at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, have achieved a milestone by performing the highest number of minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS) in the AP Telangana region, totaling over 1300. Our expert surgeons, recipients of fellowships in MICS from prestigious national institutes like AIIMS, lead the way in delivering exceptional cardiac care.

    Robot-assisted cardiac surgery is the most advanced treatment in the domain of cardiothoracic surgery. The incision size necessary for this approach is approximately 8 mm, greatly reducing chest wall trauma and promoting a notably quicker recovery process.

    Our cardiologists at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, will take your detailed medical history. Then you will have to undergo a series of diagnostic procedures. Our advanced diagnostics will help doctors come up with a precise diagnosis. Based on the diagnosis and risk factors, our doctors will discuss with you the best treatment for your condition.

    It depends on the type of heart surgery you are undergoing. If you had open heart surgery, it may take up to 10 days to stay at the hospital. But if you undergo minimally invasive procedures or robotic surgery, it takes less than a week.

    If you possess any medical records, prior consultation notes from other healthcare facilities, documents from previous visits to Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, or referral forms, please remember to bring them with you.

    Please ensure that you have your medical records, scans, reports, medications, as well as personal items like your phone charger, spectacles, dentures, and so on. If you have an LVAD, kindly bring it. It is also advisable to have a family member or friend accompany you.

    You will receive an antiseptic body wash to use for your pre-surgery bath. Please refrain from consuming any food or beverages on the morning of the procedure. When your surgery is scheduled, you will receive a handout with pre- and post-operative instructions. Kindly adhere to these guidelines.

    Heart surgery is done under general anaesthesia. However, certain minimally-invasive procedures are done under local anaesthesia. Hence, you will not experience any pain during surgery. But after the surgery, you may have slight pain in your chest and at the incision site. If your pain worsens, please contact us.

    Following your heart surgery, please avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several months. Adhere to a healthy diet plan provided by our dietician. Engage in cardiac rehabilitation to facilitate a speedy recovery. Maintain proper hygiene at the incision site. Be diligent about taking your prescribed medications punctually and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. From Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, you will receive a handout with pre- and post-operative instructions when your surgery is scheduled. Kindly adhere to these guidelines.

    If your recovery progresses smoothly and your job doesn’t involve physically demanding tasks, you can typically consider returning to work after approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Nevertheless, it is crucial to have a discussion with your doctor to ensure that your job responsibilities won’t pose any risks to your heart health or overall well-being.

    Your cardiologist, pulmonologist, or gastroenterologist may recommend a thoracic surgeon if they believe you could benefit from surgery to address heart, lung, oesophagus, mediastinum, or chest wall conditions. Whether it is an illness, medical condition, accident, growth, or disease in the chest area, a thoracic surgeon can diagnose your condition and suggest suitable treatment options.

    Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive procedure for lung-related issues. In VATS, a thoracoscope, with a camera, is inserted through a small incision between the ribs, allowing surgeons to view the chest cavity without fully opening it. Removal of lung tissue and other chest procedures can be performed through one or two small incisions, making it a versatile technique for conditions such as lung cancer, thymus, oesophagus, pleural, or pericardium-related concerns.

    Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (Uni-VATS) is a minimally invasive technique where lung access is achieved through a single incision. In Uni-VATS, the surgeon makes a small incision, typically several centimetres wide, between the ribs. While biportal VATS involves two port sites with a utility incision.

    VATS is most suitable for those with early-stage lung cancer, especially when the tumour is small and hasn’t spread beyond the lungs. VATS is also recommended for various thoracic procedures, including lung and pleural biopsy, wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, pneumonectomy, and more.

    Patients with a history of chest surgery may not find VATS suitable. In cases of larger tumours or advanced stages of cancer, conventional surgery may offer better results than VATS.
