Cardiac Surgery

Our heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood to our body. Our heart is at the center of our circulatory system. This system consists of a network of blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries. These blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of our body. Our heart is vital to our health and nearly everything that goes on in our body. Without the heart's pumping action, blood can't move throughout our body. A healthy heart supplies our body with the right amount of blood at the rate needed to work well. If disease or injury weakens your heart, our body's organs won't receive enough blood to work normally.
Heart Disease
Our heart is made up of many parts working together to pump blood. In a healthy heart, all the parts work well so that our heart pumps blood normally. As a result, all parts of our body that depend on the heart to deliver blood also stay healthy. Heart disease can disrupt a heart's normal electrical system and pumping functions. Diseases and conditions of the heart's muscle make it hard for our heart to properly pump blood.
