Cardiology vs. Cardiothoracic Surgery: Understanding the Difference

Many patients are unsure whether they need a cardiologist or a cardiothoracic surgeon. Here’s a quick comparison to help clarify:

Aspect Cardiology Cardiothoracic Surgery
Focus Area Medical management of heart conditions Surgical treatment of heart, lung, and chest conditions
Nature of Treatment Non-surgical (medications, stents, angioplasty) Surgical (bypass, valve repair/replacement, lung surgery, open-heart procedures)
Common Procedures ECG, angioplasty, stenting, medical therapy Bypass surgery, valve replacement, minimally invasive heart surgery
Type of Specialist Cardiologist Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Used For Managing risk factors, arrhythmias, early-stage coronary artery disease Treating advanced or structural heart/lung conditions requiring surgical correction

Understanding this difference ensures that patients receive the right treatment at the right time — whether through a cardiologist or a cardiothoracic surgeon in Bangalore.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

At VSH Hospital, we believe that recovery and rehabilitation are as important as surgery itself. After surgery, patients are closely monitored in our advanced cardiac ICU, where vital signs, oxygen levels, and heart function are observed around the clock. Our care team ensures that pain is effectively managed and potential complications are addressed promptly.

Once stable, patients are moved to a recovery ward, where they begin light movement and breathing exercises under supervision. Our physiotherapy and cardiac rehabilitation team helps patients rebuild strength and confidence with personalized care plans.

Before discharge, we provide:

  • Personalized recovery and rehabilitation plans
  • Medication guidance and education for family members
  • Dietary and lifestyle counselling for long-term heart health
  • Scheduled follow-up visits with your cardiothoracic surgeon and cardiology team

Our comprehensive approach ensures faster recovery and lasting heart wellness.
