Today cardiovascular diseases are at the forefront of the most frequently seen sicknesses. A significant ground is covered in the treatment of heart diseases through the advances in heart surgery since 1990s, especially emergence of robotic heart surgery. In many fields such as coronary diseases, by-pass surgery, heart valve diseases, congenital heart diseases, arm and leg vascular diseases, by means of expert doctors and centers equipped with the latest technology, it is ensured that the patients regain their health.

Currently deaths due to cardiovascular diseases constitute roughly half of the total deaths in developed countries. For this reason early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases is very important. Treatment of heart diseases is made possible through methods such as coronary angiography, angioplasty, pediatric heart surgery, aorta valve surgery, heart battery (pacemaker) surgery, intracoronary stent, mitral valve repair. Although heart diseases are associated with men over middle age, they may be seen in men and women of all ages. In the diagnosis of heart diseases besides physical examination electrocardiography test shortly called EKG, echocardiography and chest x-ray are the methods primarily used. These methods are used in determining the condition of the patient easily without having the need to be hospitalized. One of the advance examination methods is “catheter”. In this method the patient is admitted to the hospital for a few days, a pipe placed in the artery or venous blood vessel is moved to the heart and x-rays are taken at various stages so that pressure in different sections of the heart is measured and the origin of the sickness is determined.

By means of the advances in heart surgery the treatment of sicknesses related to the heart which is one of our most sensitive organs, is carried out easily. For a healthy life we have to take care of our heart not only when we are sick but also when we are healthy.
