Heart Surgeries in Patients with Low Ef
What is Low EF?
EF (Ejection Fraction) is a parameter that measures the percentage of blood pumped by the heart muscle during each contraction. A low EF indicates a condition in which the heart muscle is weak and has difficulty pumping blood throughout the body. This condition is often seen in patients with heart failure.
Heart Surgeries and Low EF
Patients with low EF may be at higher risk for heart surgery in general, as a weak heart muscle may be under greater stress during and after surgery. However, in some cases, surgery is unavoidable and necessary for treatment.
Risks and Precautions
Cardiac surgery in patients with low EF can increase the risk of complications. These complications can include worsening heart failure, arrhythmias, lung problems, and infections. Therefore, a thorough preoperative evaluation and close postoperative monitoring are necessary.
Treatment Approaches
In patients with low EF, cardiac surgery is often performed to correct or improve heart failure. These surgeries may include procedures such as heart valve repair or replacement, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), and pacemaker implantation. A multidisciplinary approach should be adopted before and after surgery, taking into account the patient's overall health.
