Treatment of Heart Diseases
Cardiac surgeon Dr. E. Andreas Agathos treats a wide range of cardiovascular diseases with modern diagnostic and surgical methods. Early diagnosis and the correct therapeutic approach are crucial for protecting cardiac function and avoiding serious complications.
Myocardial infarction
A heart attack, also known as a heart attack, is usually caused by a blockage or severe narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Factors such as atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension significantly increase the risk of its occurrence.
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Aortic valve stenosis makes it difficult for blood to flow smoothly from the heart to the aorta. As a result, the heart has to work harder to function properly, which can lead to hypertrophy of the heart muscle and a gradual burden on heart function.
Aortic Valve Insufficiency
In this case, the aortic valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow back into the heart. This condition can put a strain on the heart’s function and in many cases requires invasive treatment to restore normal blood circulation.
Mitral Valve Insufficiency
Mitral valve insufficiency causes blood to back up between the chambers of the heart. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and palpitations may occur, and if not treated promptly, the condition can lead to heart failure.
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of the aorta, which can become dangerous if it increases in size. There are different types of aneurysms and proper monitoring or surgical treatment is critical to prevent rupture.
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disorder that causes irregular heartbeats. In some cases, it may be associated with other heart conditions and requires specialized evaluation for proper treatment.
