Heart Procedures
If you have a heart problem, your doctor may want you to have a procedure or surgery done, or a device implanted. You should always discuss a procedure with your doctor, so you know exactly what’s involved during and after. It’s a good idea to have someone with you, to help you ask questions and remember information.
