Nagpur, India (prHWY.com) March 15, 2012 - With new techniques and heart valve replacement surgery in India with cost support and patients with valve problems can enjoy a full recovery. Heart valve replacement, also referred to as open heart surgery, is the medical procedure that involves treatment of the aortic valves and severely damaged mitral valves. Heart valve surgery is also used to treat any valve disease that is life-threatening.

Valve replacement surgery in India usually uses two types of valves namely, mechanical valves, which are usually made from materials such as plastic, carbon, or metal or biological valves, which are made from animal tissue or taken from the human tissue of a donated heart. This replacement surgery is performed with either using a 'mini' incision in the 'breastbone' (sternum) or under the right pectoral muscle to access the heart valve.

The human heart pumps sixty to eighty times per minute to deliver blood to the body - carrying nutrients and oxygen to the body's cells and keeping us alive. Electrical signals from the brain regulate the heart's rhythmic pumping - the top chambers and bottom chambers pump in synchrony to ensure maximum functioning. Valves between the chambers keep blood flowing in the proper direction. But what happens when problems arises. As it is essential that blood should flow in one direction through the heart, blood going the wrong way through the heart's chambers can interrupt blood flow and cause inept pumping. Heart valve replacement surgery may be necessary to fix the problem.

Highly qualified and experienced doctors working in internationally certified hospitals and clinics in all specialties provide high standards in quality of care to individuals around the world. Individuals around the globe seeking affordable and easily reached healthcare services are increasingly looking beyond domestic borders for such care. The cost of medical care in India has reduced significantly, in combination with the need for medical care providers to carry increasingly high levels of such insurance, which in turn drives up the care for everything from a wellness check to heart valve replacement surgery in India.

Valve replacement surgery in India is done with experienced surgeons. Doctors in these countries are as qualified and as skilled as their western counterparts. This is because a majority of doctors working in these hospitals have been trained in hospitals in USA and UK or have done their higher studies in these countries. The death rate among patients during surgery is only 0.8 percent-less than half that of most major hospitals in the United States. The number of registered nurses in these countries is far greater than in USA. And some hospitals even offer a 24/7 nurse-on-call for each individual patient. So, the care you get is much better than what you might expect in an American hospital.

The heart valve replacement surgery in India is beneficial in terms of cost and holidays. Medical tourism combines treatment and tourism in beneficial package for everyone. So, what exactly are the benefits of medical tourism and why do people travel abroad for simple and complex medical procedures? The main factor that encourages medical travel is undoubtedly the high cost of medical care in developed countries like the United States. Most medical travel destinations offer surgeries at almost one-third the costs of developed countries. This translates into bigger savings for a person who has to undergo a complex medical procedure like a valve replacement surgery.
