The heart bypass surgery procedure is well known across the world and is increasingly being put into practice by various surgeons. This surgery is basically performed to provide solutions for the blocked arteries which causes increased pressure on the functioning of the heart and can even lead to mild or a severe heart attack. This surgery essentially creates a separate route which is essentially known as the bypass so that the oxygen as well as the blood can flow efficiently to the heart without any stoppage or blockings. The blocked arteries make it difficult for the heart to get sufficient blood and oxygen in a convenient way. Such a condition is known as the disease of coronary bypass surgery treatment . Heart bypass surgery is one of the techniques that are considered a viable solution by the leading cardiologists across the medical fraternity. There are some cases or patients who do not necessarily need bypass surgery for the cure of their artery disease as it can be treated by m...

What is heart attack disease? The heart is the center of the circulatory system and connects with all the blood vessels that carry blood in and out of the body cells. The blood carries oxygen which is essential for the working of each and every cell in the body. Heart attack disease is a group of problems that take place in the heart and the blood vessels. There are many causes for having theheart attack disease. Some of them are atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, angina, heart attack, and stroke. Arteriosclerosis is the accumulation of body fat in the major vessels which causes blockage of blood to certain parts of the body. Sclerosis also means hardening and the artery then dies due to lack of oxygen. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol in the major arteries leading directly to the heart which makes them narrow, thereby causing lesser blood to flow through. Angina is pain in the chest that is experienced as a part of heart attack disease . Angina signifies the absence of...

Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. The sinuses are air sacs within the facial bones around the nasal passage. These air sacs are lined with a membrane of the same structure as that lining the respiratory tract. The membrane has two characteristics. It produces mucus, a sticky substance that collects dust and pollutants. The mucus lies on the tips of vibrating hairs which move the mucus to an exit to be reflexly swallowed. The inflammation blocks the exit of the mucus causing the symptoms of sinusitis. Blockage, in turn, causes recurrent infection with viruses or bacteria. Inflammation is a result of allergies, bacteria/viral infection, presence of the foreign body, injury, poor neurovascular control of the mucous membrane, and other unknown causes. Acute and chronic sinusitis There are two types of sinusitis. One is acute sinusitis and the other is chronic sinusitis. Acute sinusitis is usually caused by viral/bacterial infection but can also be allergic. It lasts a few days to ...
