Denizli Private Egekent Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. Bilgin Emrecan mentioned important tricks to be considered in the recovery process after cardiovascular surgery. Prof. Dr. Emrecan said, “Cardiovascular surgery is an important step to improve heart health. However, the postoperative recovery process is as critical as the surgical procedure. In this process, there are some basic points that patients should pay attention to. First of all, it is very important to rest and not to tire the body in the first days after surgery. While adequate rest helps the cardiovascular system to recover, it is important to remember that physical activities should be increased gradually.”
“Nutrition is important in the healing process”
Prof. Dr. Bilgin Emrecan mentioned that nutrition after surgery plays an important role in the recovery process and said, “A healthy and balanced diet recommended by the doctor can help the body recover faster. In addition, limiting salt and sugar intake is useful to keep blood pressure under control. It is recommended that patients create an appropriate nutrition plan together with their doctors.”
“Psychological support contributes to the healing process”
Underlining the important role of psychological support in the healing process, Prof. Dr. Bilgin Emrecan made the following warnings:
“Psychological support is also an important part of the healing process. Patients may experience anxiety and stress after surgical intervention. Therefore, family support, communication with friends and professional psychological help when necessary can improve the mental state of patients. Sharing emotional burdens in the postoperative period contributes positively to the healing process. Regular medical check-ups and adherence to the recommended treatment plan help the healing process to proceed in a healthy way. Taking medications regularly, following the physical activity program and paying attention to the doctor's recommendations reduce the risk of complications after cardiovascular surgery. It is very important for patients to establish an open communication with healthcare professionals in this process in terms of early detection of possible problems.”
