Medical Disclaimer
Please read this before relying on anything published here.
Cirugía de Corazón publishes this website to help people understand cardiac conditions and the procedures used to treat them. Please read the following before acting on anything you find here.
This is general information
The guides, articles and videos on this site describe conditions and procedures in general terms. They are written for a general audience and cannot account for your age, your history, your studies, your other conditions, the medicines you take, or the specifics of your anatomy. Only a physician who has examined you can do that.
It is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan
Nothing here should be read as telling you what is wrong with you or what should be done about it. Two people with the same diagnosis often need different treatment. If something you read here seems to describe your situation, that is a reason to seek a consultation, not a reason to conclude anything.
In an emergency
If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, or any symptom you believe may be an emergency, do not use this website. Call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Do not stop or change treatment on the basis of this site
Do not start, stop or alter any medication or treatment because of something published here without speaking to the physician responsible for your care.
Individual results
Patient testimonials on this site are the experiences of the individuals who gave them. They are shared with permission and are not a prediction of what will happen in any other case. Every cardiac procedure carries risk, and those risks are discussed individually as part of consultation and consent.
Second opinions
We encourage second opinions. Seeking one is a normal and reasonable part of making a decision about heart surgery.
