Is rhinoplasty dangerous for heart patients?
Is rhinoplasty dangerous for heart patients? Rhinoplasty for heart patients does not in itself pose an additional risk to heart patients. But since most rhinoplasty surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, if you suffer from heart disease, be sure to talk to your plastic surgeon.. Because rhinoplasty under anesthesia can put pressure on your heart and be harmful to you.
If you have a cardiac arrhythmia, an alternative to anesthesia can be used for your rhinoplasty.. It is an alternative to local anesthesia. With this method, the amount of bleeding during rhinoplasty is minimized. If your surgeon is aware of the disease, he / she can easily control it in case of any problems.
The plastic surgeon will let your anesthesiologist know about your illness. They will also be prepared for any problems according to the necessary examinations and will perform anesthesia for you with the least risk..
What is the relationship between rhinoplasty and heart disease?
The respiratory system and the heart are anatomically close to each other. There is always a close interaction between these two devices. The nose forms the main duct of our upper respiratory tract. It accounts for about half of the respiratory resistance to air currents. Deviation in the area of the nasal septum is the main cause of respiratory problems in adults and consequently nasal obstruction. This obstruction reduces the flow into the body and causes chronic mucosal irritation.
These conditions increase the airway resistance and reduce oxygen saturation and increase arterial carbon dioxide levels.. Therefore, obstruction of the nasal septum will play an important role in increasing blood pressure. Correcting the septum reduces the possibility of heart complications and high blood pressure.
As you know, high blood pressure is also a very important factor in cardiovascular diseases.. As a result, patients with nasal septal deviation are more prone to heart and lung disease than others. Therefore, it is better to encourage patients with these problems to have rhinoplasty.
What is the relationship between sleep apnea and heart disease?
Respiratory problems during sleep that sometimes lead to shortness of breath and wake you up.. This is because not enough oxygen reaches your brain and lungs through your airways and nose.. The same problem of oxygen deprivation به alone can cause heart and lung problems and increase the risk of diseases such as heart failure, irregular heartbeat and heart attack..
