A Cardiac & Vascular Surgeon is a super-specialist who operates on the heart and blood vessels — a different role from a cardiologist, who manages heart disease with medicines and procedures but does not perform open surgery. In Bangladesh, patients are usually referred to one after a cardiologist's tests (ECG, echocardiogram, angiogram) show a problem that needs an operation. Common reasons include blocked coronary arteries needing bypass surgery (CABG), heart valves damaged by rheumatic fever, holes in the heart (ASD/VSD), varicose veins, poor blood flow to the legs, diabetic foot and limb-saving surgery, aneurysms, and creating dialysis fistulas for kidney patients. Most are trained at major centres such as NICVD, the National Heart Foundation, Ibrahim Cardiac or BSMMU and hold an MS or FCPS in cardiac/vascular surgery. In a consultation, the surgeon reviews your reports and scans, examines you, explains whether surgery is genuinely needed, discusses the risks, recovery time and likely cost, and arranges pre-operative tests. See one when a cardiologist advises surgery, or for chest pain, breathlessness, leg pain on walking, swollen leg veins or a non-healing foot wound.
