The heart is the core of your circulatory system and it is crucially responsible for just about everything that gives life to your body. It works throughout life without stopping - from oxygen transportation to the success of the immune system. Consult some of the best cardiologists in Bangalore at Columbia Asia.

You’re each heartbeat pumps blood through arteries and veins systems where blood delivers essential oxygen and nutrients to every cell and takes away from the waste products and carbon dioxide.

The four heart valves at the exit of each of the four heart chambers ensure that blood flows freely in the correct direction.

These four valves are:

• Tricuspid valve: The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the ventricle to prevent the blood from flowing backward into the right atrium during contraction of the ventricle.
• Pulmonary valve: The pulmonary valve stops the deoxygenated blood from returning to the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.
• Mitral valve: The mitral valve lets blood flow from one chamber of the heart, the left atrium, to another called the left ventricle.
• Aortic valve: The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta, the aorta is the largest artery in the body.

Open heart surgery in India is the most common type of heart surgery for adults where the chest is cut open and surgery is performed on the muscles, valves, or arteries of the heart. It is also known as bypass grafting (CABG).

In heart valve disease, one or more of the heart valves does not work properly or in some cases, the valves don’t open and close properly that can disrupt the blood flow through your body.

When the heart valves replacement in Bangalore gets damaged or diseased and do not function in a healthy way, it becomes necessary for it to get repaired or replaced.

In case of severe heart failure where both heart ventricles have stopped functioning properly, heart transplant surgery is performed.
