Chest injuries can vary in severity, ranging from minor bruises to significant damage to vital structures like the heart, lungs, or other chest organs.

โœ…Surgical intervention may be necessary to address these injuries, which can result from blunt force trauma or penetrating wounds.

โš ๏ธSuch conditions can pose a life-threatening risk, particularly when they affect breathing or circulation.

๐Ÿ• The sooner we can diagnose and treat these injuries, the better the outcomes for patients.

๐Ÿ‘‰ In severe cases, for example pheumothorax, early surgical intervention can significantly improve prognosis and save lives.

Dr. Loh Yee Jim's philosophy is deeply rooted in a profound understanding and empathy for his patients' experiences.

๐Ÿ’ Having been a heart patient himself, he possesses a unique perspective in medicine. This personal experience allows him to empathise with the stresses and anxieties that his patients and their families endure.

๐Ÿฅฐ This philosophy aligns with the values of empathy and understanding, crucial traits for any doctor, and are particularly important in a field as high-stakes as cardiothoracic surgery.

Dr. Loh's commitment to his patients is further reflected in the ethos of Paediatrics & Adult Cardiothoracic Surgery (PACTS) where every heart patient matters, and every child is important.

This stance underscores the values of respect and compassion, as he views each patient not just as a case, but as an individual with unique needs and experiences.

๐Ÿซ€ Imagine the aorta as a large pipe in the heart that supplies blood to other parts of the body.

An aortic root aneurysm is a bulge that occurs at the root of the aorta, commonly known as Aortic Aneurysm. When the aorta weakens or bulges, it can result in blood leakage back into the heart or even a rupture!

โœ…Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at removing the damaged portion of the aorta while preserving the native aortic valve.

๐Ÿ“ Who is it for?
This procedure is recommended primarily for younger patients diagnosed with aortic aneurysm, who are in good physical condition and do not have pre-existing health conditions or an increased risk of stroke.

In this post, we will explore a condition called Aortic Aneurysm.
๐Ÿฉธ An aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta, which is the main artery responsible for carrying blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Here are some symptoms associated with aortic aneurysm:
๐Ÿ”น Abdominal, chest, or back pain
๐Ÿ”น Shortness of breath
๐Ÿ”น Rapid heart rate
๐Ÿ”น Pale skin
๐Ÿ”น Feeling faint

โ“ Can Aortic Aneurysm be cured?
Unfortunately, there is no cure for an aortic aneurysm. However, there are treatment options available that can help prevent its progression or rupture.
๐Ÿฉบ Consult a Cardiothoracic Specialist today to explore the best treatment options for you.

Cardiac tumour, also known as heart tumour, is a condition where abnormal cells grow in the tissues of the heart. It can be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

๐Ÿ”บ Cardiac tumour resection is a surgical procedure to remove a tumour located within the heart or its surrounding tissues.

๐Ÿ”บ The goal of this surgery is to remove the tumour while preserving as much healthy heart tissue as possible in order to restore normal heart function.

This surgery is not as common as other heart surgeries because heart tumours are rare; therefore it is important to consult a cardiothoracic surgeon experienced in performing it.

๐Ÿ”บ Stroke
๐Ÿ”บ Kidney failure

Heart out of sync? That pretty closely describes Atrial Fibrillation, a condition in which the upper chamber of the heart, known as the Atria, beat irregularly and โ€œout of syncโ€ with the lower chamber of the heart, the Ventricles.

๐Ÿฉบ When should you see a specialist?
๐Ÿ”บ When you experience any symptoms that may suggest Atrial Fibrillation, such as tiredness, dizziness and/or shortness of breath;
๐Ÿ”บ If you are already diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and notice a sudden worsening of your symptoms or new symptoms that concern you.

โ— If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of heart conditions, regular medical check-ups can help in the early detection of Atrial Fibrillation or other heart issues.

๐ŸŒž Early detection and treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of these complications such as stroke or heart failure.

Pacemakers are essential medical devices planted in the chest to regulate heart rhythms, allowing patients with heart rhythm disorders to lead longer and healthier lives.

โœจ Fun Fact
In 1958, Arne Larsson of Sweden became the first person to get an artificial pacemaker. Remarkably, he outlived the device's inventor, the surgeon who implanted it, and 26 subsequent pacemakers. Larsson passed away in 2001 at the age of 86.

Did you know that the chest wall:

๐Ÿ”ธ Protects vital organs like the heart, lungs, and liver;
๐Ÿ”ธ Provides a skeletal framework for shoulder and arm movements; and
๐Ÿ”ธ Enables us to take more than 20,000 breaths a day?

Here are some common chest wall conditions that can affect individuals of all ages.

AVNeo is a surgical procedure for treating aortic valve disease.

During the procedure
๐Ÿ”ธ The damaged heart valve is removed,
๐Ÿ”ธ New valve parts are made from tissues of the patientโ€™s pericardium,
๐Ÿ”ธ The newly reconstructed valve is sewn into the native aortic valve position.

This procedure restores and regulates the blood flow from the heart to other parts of the body.

The main advantage of the AVNeo is that it reduces the risk of complications and rejections, leading to a more natural and durable valve function.

๐Ÿ“ We are happy to share that Dr Loh Yee Jim has performed the first AVNeo procedure in Singapore on 13 April 2023 under the proctorship of Dr Sivakumar Sivalingam.
