About Cardiology Consultation Abroad

Medical tourism for cardiological needs has become popular due to improved access to information.

Every 43 seconds someone has a heart attack. Heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men and women in the United States. With heart problems being such a wide-spread issue, many people are opting to have heart surgery abroad, which gives them the chance to relax, rest and unwind. 

Heart disease encompasses a range of conditions, including blood vessel diseases such as coronary artery disease, problems with heart rhythm and congenital heart defects, according to the Mayo Clinic. A number of factors play a role in heart disease risk. Some include family history and age but others you have more control over. 

Common Cardiac Treatments 

1. Angioplasty
 
Also known as Percutaneous Coronary Interventions [PCI], Balloon Angioplasty and Coronary Artery Balloon Dilation. Special tubing with an attached deflated balloon is threaded up to the coronary arteries. A coronary angioplasty usually takes between 30 minutes and two hours. 

2. Bypass Surgery 

This surgery is used when the coronary arteries become blocked or damaged. The coronary arteries supply the heart’s muscles with oxygenated blood. If they are blocked or the flow of blood is restricted, the heart can’t function properly. A bypass can fix a blocked artery, but you may need to change some habits to prevent future heart disease. 

3. Artificial Heart Valve Surgery
 
When the aortic valve doesn’t open completely, less blood is pumped from the heart to the body. Surgeons can repair a damaged valve or replace it with a new, artificial valve.
 

Pricing Policy 

In US, the cost of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is about $120,000; In comparison with other foreign clinics the same surgery will cost: 

• In France the cost is 25.000 euro;
