Sitting is the new smoking | Total Cardiac Care by Dr Mahadevan

If you sit for more than 6 hours a day, your risk of heart failure increases by 34 % - SITTING IS THE NEW SMOKING - Marathon sitting sessions increase your risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and even cancer!

Heart Valve Replacement Surgery | Total Cardiac Care by Dr. Mahadevan

Heart Valve Replacement - Dr.Mahadevan _ Cardiac Surgeon, Trivandrum _Total cardiac care- Heart valve replacement surgery is one of the most common surgeries cardiac surgeons and some specialized cardiologists perform to fix problems with the heart valves and restore the heart’s function. To understand heart valve replacement surgery, you need to understand the basic structure and function of the heart. Basic Structure of the Heart The heart is a bag of muscle that pumps blood to all parts of your body. The heart has four chambers – two atria (singular: atrium) and two ventricles.  The atria lie above the ventricles, where they receive blood into the heart while the ventricles pump blood away from the heart. Each atrium is connected to one ventricle on one side through a passageway enclosed by a valve. The valve between the right atrium and ventricle is called the tricuspid valve while the valve between the left atrium and ventricle is called the bicuspid valve. The left ventricle pumps blood through a large vessel called the aorta, which supplies blood to all the body tissues through several arterial branches. The valve enclosing the passageway between the left ventricle and the aorta is called the aortic valve. Similarly, the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery to receive oxygen. The valve between these two structures is called the pulmonic or pulmonary valve.
