Symptoms of Cardiothoracic Conditions.

Common Symptoms of Cardiothoracic Conditions:

Chest pain or discomfort – Pressure, tightness, or burning sensation
Shortness of breath – Difficulty breathing, especially during activity or at rest
Irregular heartbeat or palpitations – Rapid, slow, or fluttering heartbeat
Dizziness or lightheadedness – Feeling faint or unsteady
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet – Possible sign of heart failure
Fatigue or weakness – Unusual tiredness even with minimal activity
Coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing – May indicate lung or heart issues
High or low blood pressure – Fluctuations that could signal a serious condition
Bluish discoloration of lips or nails (cyanosis) – Lack of oxygen in the blood
Rapid or shallow breathing – Trouble catching breath or breathing too fast
Fever, chills, or sweating – May suggest an infection or inflammation
Nausea or vomiting – Sometimes associated with heart conditions
Fainting or loss of consciousness – Could be a sign of an underlying heart issue
Chest tightness or pressure – Often linked to angina or heart disease
Swollen or tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpit – Could indicate an infection or cancer

Reasons for Heart and Lung Defects

🔹 Genetic Factors
Inherited genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., congenital heart defects, cystic fibrosis)
Family history of heart or lung diseases increases risk

🔹 Environmental Factors
Exposure to toxins, pollutants, or radiation during pregnancy
Air pollution and hazardous chemicals affecting fetal development

🔹 Maternal Health Conditions
Uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity during pregnancy
Autoimmune diseases or thyroid disorders affecting fetal organ formation

🔹 Infections During Pregnancy
Rubella, cytomegalovirus, or Zika virus increasing risk of congenital defects
Respiratory infections that impact lung development in the fetus

🔹 Medications & Drug Exposure
Certain antibiotics, seizure medications, or acne treatments affecting fetal heart and lung formation
Unsupervised use of drugs during pregnancy leading to congenital defects

🔹 Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use impacting fetal oxygen supply
Poor nutrition and lack of prenatal care increasing birth defect risks

🔹 Other Medical Conditions
Genetic syndromes like Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and others linked to congenital heart defects
Premature birth, leading to underdeveloped lungs and respiratory distress

Our multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, pulmonologists, and fetal medicine specialists ensures early detection, prevention, and treatment of congenital heart and lung defects. Robotic-assisted diagnostics and interventions help us provide safe, precise, and minimally invasive treatments for patients of all ages.

ONUS For Heart and Lung Defects

Advanced Cardiothoracic Treatments & Diagnostic Tests

Cardiothoracic Treatments & Procedures

Heart Surgeries & Procedures

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery – Reroutes blood flow around blocked arteries to restore proper circulation.
Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery – Restores function in damaged heart valves.
Congenital Heart Defect Repair – Corrects heart defects in infants and children.
Heart Transplant – Replaces a failing heart with a healthy donor heart.
Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Implantation – Supports heart function in patients with heart failure.
Cardiac Catheterization – A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat heart diseases.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) – Opens blocked arteries with stents to improve blood flow.
Electrophysiology Studies & Ablation – Diagnoses and treats irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) – Temporary life-support system for heart and lung failure.
Lung & Thoracic Surgeries
Lung Surgery – Removal of diseased lung tissue or full lung (lobectomy, pneumonectomy).
Lung Cancer Surgery – Removal of lung tumors for cancer treatment.
Aortic Aneurysm Repair – Open surgery or endovascular stent grafting to prevent aneurysm rupture.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Surgery – Relieves nerve and blood vessel compression in the chest.

Advanced Cardiothoracic Diagnostic Tests

Echocardiogram (Echo) – Uses ultrasound to assess heart function and valve movement.
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) – Measures the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormalities.
Cardiac MRI & CT Scan – High-resolution imaging for heart structure and function.
Coronary Angiography – Identifies blockages in coronary arteries.
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) – Evaluates lung capacity and function.
Chest X-ray & CT Scan – Detects lung diseases, tumors, and structural abnormalities.
Bronchoscopy – A camera-assisted test to examine the airways and lungs.
Stress Test – Evaluates heart performance under physical stress.
Blood Tests (Cardiac Biomarkers) – Detects heart damage or inflammation.

Heart & Lung Diagnostic Tests

1. Echocardiogram
What it is: A non-invasive test using sound waves to produce real-time images of the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood vessels.
Why it’s important: It helps diagnose conditions such as valve disease, heart failure, and congenital heart defects.

2. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
What it is: A non-invasive test that measures the heart’s electrical activity.
Why it’s important: It detects arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart function abnormalities by analyzing the heart’s rhythm.

3. Cardiac Stress Test
What it is: A test that evaluates the heart’s response to physical activity or stress, typically conducted on a treadmill or stationary bike.
Why it’s important: It helps detect heart problems like coronary artery disease or heart failure that may not appear at rest.

4. Chest X-ray
What it is: A quick, non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays to view the heart, lungs, and surrounding organs.
Why it’s important: It can detect lung diseases, heart enlargement, fluid buildup, and other chest conditions.

5. Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
What it is: A non-invasive imaging test that combines X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the heart, lungs, and chest.
Why it’s important: It provides clearer details of coronary arteries, lung conditions, and other structural abnormalities.

6. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
What it is: A non-invasive imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to generate high-resolution images of the heart, lungs, and chest.
Why it’s important: It offers superior imaging of heart tissue, blood flow, and can diagnose complex heart and lung conditions like heart failure and tumors.

7. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
What it is: A non-invasive test measuring lung capacity and efficiency in transferring oxygen to the bloodstream.
Why it’s important: It assesses lung diseases such as COPD, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis.

8. Cardiac Catheterization
What it is: A minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into the heart to measure blood flow and pressure.
Why it’s important: It helps diagnose and treat conditions like coronary artery disease, heart valve issues, and congenital heart defects.
