Heart

Sandeep Jauhar

The heart extends beyond being merely a metaphor for love and courage; it is a remarkably sensitive and intricate organ. It is affected not only by our lifestyles but also by stress, anxiety, and emotions like grief and sadness. Fortunately, various surgical procedures, ranging from early 20th-century cross-circulation surgeries to contemporary practices like coronary angioplasty, have been developed to extend the heart's lifespan and address defects, contributing to the improvement and preservation of lives for those with heart disease.
