People who get any trauma to the chest, for example, crush injuries, are also the concern of the cardiac surgeon.

Coronary heart disease, in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked, that can cause angina and heart attack, are also remedied in certain cases by heart surgeons.

Cardiac surgeons are also concerned with curing heart failure, a condition remarked by heart’s inability to pump blood around the body. Heart valve problems, like mitral valve regurgitation, are also addressed by heart surgeons.

What are the most common cardiac problems in Pakistan?

Heart disease is the leading cause of non-communicable diseases in Pakistan. 1 in 10 people above the age of 30 die from cardiovascular diseases.

These factors are compounded by various risk factors. People in Pakistan largely lack awareness with regards to healthy lifestyle choices, due to which they suffer from cardiovascular complications.

From poor dietary choices to lack of physical activity, the public is wholly unaware of the dire impact of these habits on their heart.

Moreover, smoking is also not shunned publicly, unlike the rest of the world, which is why a significant portion of the population smoke or uses tobacco in any other form.

Smoking is amongst the leading cause of not just lung cancer, but more importantly, cardiovascular diseases.

Similarly, chronic ailments like diabetes and hypertension are also rampant amongst people. Due to ignorance and lack of education, people do not realize how these chronic ailments affect their heart health.

Furthermore, there is also lack of access to healthcare. Health infrastructure has been woefully neglected for decades now. Since people do not get timely and quality help, the disease burden therefore naturally increases.

According to World Health Organization’s research, following are the risk factors, and their proportion in the public:
