Your heart, an organ roughly the size of your fist, plays an essential role in keeping you alive and well. However, a combination of medical or lifestyle factors can lead to cardiovascular disease—a condition that claims more lives in the United States than any illness. If you experience a heart problem, your healthcare provider may recommend surgery to fix the issue. Heart surgery may help treat the condition, relieve symptoms and prevent onset of further complications.
