FAQs

What should I expect immediately after my cardiac surgery?

After your cardiac surgery, you can expect to spend some time in the intensive care unit (ICU) where your condition will be closely monitored. You may experience some discomfort, but the medical team will manage your pain and ensure you're stable. You'll gradually be moved to a regular hospital room as your recovery progresses. It's normal to feel a range of emotions during this time, and our team will provide you with all the support you need.

How long will my recovery take after cardiac surgery?

Recovery time can vary depending on the type of cardiac surgery you had and your overall health. Typically, you might spend a few days in the hospital and several weeks at home recovering. During this period, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication, physical activity, and follow-up appointments. Our team will work with you to create a personalized recovery plan to ensure you regain your strength and return to your normal activities safely.

What kind of follow-up care will I need after my surgery?

Follow-up care is crucial for a successful recovery. You'll have scheduled visits with your cardiologist to monitor your progress and adjust any medications if needed. During these appointments, your doctor will check your heart function, review your recovery progress, and address any concerns you might have. Our goal is to ensure that you are healing properly and to prevent any complications.

Are there any lifestyle changes I need to make after my surgery?

Yes, making certain lifestyle changes can significantly impact your recovery and long-term heart health. Your cardiologist will likely recommend a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Additionally, managing stress and getting adequate rest are important. We provide personalized guidance and resources to help you make these changes and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle.

What should I do if I experience unusual symptoms or complications after my surgery?
