Average Length Of Stay Cardiac ICU

Patients of cardiac surgeries are generally advised to stay in the Intensive Care Unit, or ICU to allow intensive monitoring right after a major surgery such as coronary artery bypass. Such surgeries are generally required when the patient is suffering from a chronic and severe disease such as the coronary artery disease or CAD.

What Is Coronary Heart Attack And What Causes It ?

A coronary heart attack is also known as myocardial infarction. It occurs when there is reduced supply of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium or the wall or muscle of the heart through the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are not able to supply the oxygen and nutrients when they are blocked; most often die due to plaque formation.
