  • Caffeine and heart surgery?

    Although there are no serious side effects of coffee intake prior to cardiac surgery, it is advised not to take caffeine afterwards to prevent irregular heartbeat. If you regularly have coffee and abruptly stop after cardiac surgery, you may have caffeine withdraw symptoms. Based on this, I would recommend gradually decreasing your caffeine consumption prior to surgery to minimize withdraw symptoms. READ MORE

  • Heart transplant question

    Rejection to a transplanted organ can happen at any time. Most of the time it is a slow process. Sometimes, it happens suddenly. It is very important that the advice of the transplant cardiologists is strictly followed and the patient adheres to immunosuppressive regimen completely. It is very unusual to suddenly reject an organ after doing well in the early recovery period. READ MORE
