While جراحة القلب المفتوح is a critical milestone in treating serious heart conditions, what happens after surgery is just as important. Long-term follow-up and ongoing care help ensure that patients stay healthy, prevent complications, and make the most of their recovery.
Our website is dedicated to educating patients about every stage of this journey — not just the operation, but life afterward.
Why Follow-Up Is Essential After جراحة القلب المفتوح
Monitor Healing: Doctors need to check how the chest wound and heart are healing post-operation.
Adjust Medications: Blood thinners, pain relievers, or heart medications may need to be changed based on progress.

Track Heart Function: Echocardiograms, ECGs, and blood tests are often repeated to assess heart strength and valve function.
