Ready for a crash course called, “Heart Surgery History 101”?<\/p>\n
I don’t know about you… But, as I was preparing for a double heart valve replacement surgery of my aortic and pulmonary valves, some of the questions that ruminated in my cranium were:<\/p>\n
In light of these questions, I did what most heart valve surgery patients do… I Google’d it!!!!<\/p>\n
I wanted to know more about the cardiac surgery history and guess what… Google did not let me down.<\/p>\n
Under the search term cardiac surgery history, there were over 2.1 million pages of information.<\/p>\n
Under the search term heart valve surgery history, there were 1.7 million pages of information.<\/p>\n
And, under the search term heart lung machine, there were 1.9 million pages of information.<\/p>\n
(FYI, for fun, I Google’d my own name, Adam Pick. I did the search in quotes – like this “adam pick” – to filter random queries. Only 1,150 pages of information. I guess I’m not as popular as the heart surgery terms above.)<\/p>\n
With that said, I found some bits of information and created a page of information to help you better understand the history of heart valve surgery and heart bypass surgery. Click below to read it!<\/p>\n
