I am almost a year post op from my third open heart surgery.

I am officially moving more weight in the gym than I was before my surgery.

I am so incredibly proud of myself. It has been a long, difficult journey, but I'm doing it!

CRITICAL EMERGENCY!!! 15 y/o girl needs heart surgery!!!!

Earlier this month, we made a post asking for your support in attaining 15 year-old Nour’s monthly treatment for her congenital heart condition. Unfortunately, the funds raised came too late. Nour’s health took a dramatic downturn yesterday, and the doctor said that because she had gone so long between monthly treatments, several of Nour’s heart valves have closed up. She now requires an urgent operation to save her heart.

NOUR WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS SURGERY!! She is dying right now because her heart is struggling to function! She needs this surgery IMMEDIATELY to save her young life!!

The doctor said the surgery will cost $8000 USD. Nour’s family’s GFM is in Canadian dollars, or CAD, of which the conversion rate to USD is $1 USD=$1.41 CAD. This means we need $11,300 CAD in donations in order to pay the equivalent of $8000 USD for her surgery.

We NEED to raise the funds ASAP so Nour has a chance at survival!! We are breaking this sum up into 2 smaller goals to be more attainable. Our first goal to save Nour’s life is to raise $4000 USD/$5656 CAD.

**Progress: $43,187 CAD out of $49,000 CAD**

(or $30,554 USD out of $34,670 USD)

PLEASE HELP SAVE NOUR’S LIFE!!!

The birth of a child is always a moment of joy. But, In Africa, nearly 500,000 families each year, this joy is accompanied by a serious challenge—congenital heart disease, or CHD.

[indianhealthguru]

Heart valve replacement is required when a heart valve becomes severely diseased or damaged, leading to improper blood flow. The main causes include:

Valve Stenosis (Narrowing)

Valve Regurgitation (Leakage)

Congenital Heart Defects

Infections & Diseases

Degenerative Conditions

Rheumatic Heart Disease

Congenital heart disease

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a disorder affecting the anatomy and function of the heart that manifests at birth. It affects over 1% of babies and is one of the most prevalent kinds of birth abnormalities. There are many different types of CHD, ranging from straightforward flaws that have little to no effect on health to complicated problems that need to be treated right away. Tetralogy of Fallot, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and atrial septal defect (ASD) are a few prevalent forms of congenital heart defects. These illnesses can cause abnormal blood flow through the heart, which can result in symptoms like weariness, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish skin), and poor weight gain. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, CHD can be treated with anything from medication and lifestyle modifications to surgery. For those with congestive heart failure (CHD) to control their disease and preserve optimal heart function, routine medical attention and monitoring are crucial.

Embracing the Invisible: Navigating Life with a Chronic Illness

Have you ever faced a challenge that seemed insurmountable? For me, living with a congenital heart condition has been the challenge. I was born with a hole in my heart, underdeveloped arteries, and a missing pulmonary valve. As a child, I was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot—a fancy term for my heart condition. My first surgery, a Waterston shunt, took place before I started kindergarten. At…

Cardiac surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at treating various heart conditions and abnormalities.

Here are some of the most common types of cardiac surgeries:

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): CABG is a procedure used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), where blockages in the coronary arteries restrict blood flow to the heart muscle. During CABG, a surgeon grafts blood vessels from elsewhere in the body to bypass the blocked coronary arteries, restoring blood flow to the heart.

Heart Valve Repair or Replacement: This surgery is performed to repair or replace damaged or diseased heart valves. There are several types of heart valve surgeries, including mitral valve repair or replacement, aortic valve repair or replacement, and tricuspid valve repair or replacement.

Aneurysm Repair: Aneurysm repair involves surgically repairing or removing weakened areas (aneurysms) in the walls of the heart's major blood vessels or in the heart itself. Untreated aneurysms can rupture and lead to life-threatening complications.

Arrhythmia Surgery: Arrhythmia surgery is performed to correct abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Procedures may include catheter ablation, where small areas of heart tissue that are causing the abnormal rhythms are destroyed, or implantation of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to regulate heart rhythm.

Heart Transplant: In cases of end-stage heart failure or severe heart disease that cannot be treated with other surgical interventions, a heart transplant may be necessary. During a heart transplant, the patient's diseased heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: Minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery and catheter-based procedures, are used to perform various cardiac surgeries with smaller incisions, reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

Congenital Heart Defect Repair: Surgery may be required to repair structural abnormalities present at birth (congenital heart defects). These defects can affect the heart's walls, valves, or blood vessels and may require surgical correction to improve heart function and circulation.

Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Implantation: VADs are mechanical pumps implanted into the chest or abdomen to help the heart pump blood to the rest of the body in cases of advanced heart failure. VAD implantation may be a bridge to heart transplant or used as destination therapy for patients who are not candidates for transplant.

These are just a few examples of the many cardiac surgeries performed to treat a wide range of heart conditions. The specific type of surgery recommended depends on the patient's diagnosis, overall health, and individual circumstances.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities present at birth that affect the heart's structure and function. These defects develop during fetal growth when the heart is forming, and they can vary widely in severity, ranging from simple defects with little impact on health to complex abnormalities that require immediate medical intervention.

Some common types of congenital heart defects include:

Holes in the Heart: These defects include atrial septal defects (ASDs) and ventricular septal defects (VSDs), where there are openings in the walls (septums) that separate the heart's chambers. These openings can cause abnormal blood flow between the chambers of the heart.

Valve Abnormalities: Congenital heart defects can affect the heart valves, causing them to be narrow (stenosis), leaky (regurgitation), or improperly formed. This can disrupt the flow of blood through the heart and may require surgical repair or replacement of the affected valve.

Malformed Blood Vessels: Defects in the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart, such as coarctation of the aorta or pulmonary artery stenosis, can lead to restricted blood flow and strain on the heart.

Complex Heart Defects: Some congenital heart defects involve multiple abnormalities in the heart's structure, such as transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. These complex defects often require surgical intervention early in life to correct or palliate the condition.

The exact cause of congenital heart defects is often unknown, but they can result from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Certain risk factors, such as maternal diabetes, maternal use of certain medications during pregnancy, maternal alcohol or drug abuse, and certain genetic syndromes, may increase the likelihood of CHDs.

Many congenital heart defects are diagnosed during prenatal ultrasound screenings or shortly after birth through physical examinations and diagnostic tests, such as echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), and cardiac catheterization.

Treatment options for CHDs depend on the type and severity of the defect but may include medication, catheter-based interventions, or surgical repair.

Advances in medical technology and surgical techniques have significantly improved outcomes for individuals born with congenital heart defects, allowing many to lead healthy and active lives with proper medical management and follow-up care.

Things to Keep in Mind While Choosing the Right Cardiac Surgeon

There is nothing more worrisome than discovering you have a heart issue. It's no secret that acting promptly is crucial, especially with cardiac problems that can quickly become serious. Fortunately, today, advanced technology and expert cardiologists make high-quality cardiac care easily accessible when it's most needed.

However, according to cardiac specialists at United Hospital, recognized as the Best Cardiology Hospital in Bangalore, say that finding the right cardiac surgeon for you is quite a challenge

Here are some important factors you can keep in mind.

Choosing the Best Cardiac Surgeon

According to Bangalore’s Best Cardiologist operating at United Hospital, the skill sets Of your operating surgeon play a huge role especially when complicated cardiac surgeries are to be performed. Therefore, it's crucial to choose your cardiac surgeon wisely.

ReferralsSeeking recommendations from your friends, family and other healthcare professionals can be very useful while searching for a professional cardiac surgeon. Though you have a reference, assess your surgeon by communicating with him freely.

Review his credentialsAs the patient in question, you have every right to study your cardiac surgeon’s credentials with respect to his qualifications and certifications. It is a good choice to connect with hospitals whom your surgeon is associated with and study his records.

Consider the Surgeon’s experienceSuccess percentages of the surgeon are of paramount importance when deciding on engaging a cardiac surgeon. The more experience with a particular condition or procedure a cardiac surgeon has, the better your results are likely to be. If possible, get in touch with patients whom the surgeon in question has treated to understand his approach.

Research Hospital QualityChoose a hospital which has all the advanced surgical facilities and more importantly, rehabilitation facilities as the duration of your hospital stay after surgery depends upon how quickly you respond to treatment post-surgery. Hence, choose a hospital which has a good track record for cardiac care as well as convenient to travel for frequent checkups.

CommunicationCommunication Skills and Confidence levels of your surgeon are equally important. It is good to engage a surgeon who can communicate freely and instil confidence in you especially if the surgery is tricky and communicated. At the same time, he should be able to understand if you have any budget constraints and suggest the best possible approach which does not deprive you of quality treatment.

Cardiac surgeries can be stressful for patients and their loved ones. Therefore, choosing a hospital and surgeon who makes you feel comfortable from the beginning is essential.
