What causes difficulty breathing after heart surgery with fluid in the heart?

Hello Mr Muhammad Kutty,

We are sorry to hear about your father's condition. It's concerning to hear that he is experiencing difficulty breathing after undergoing an angiogram and angioplasty. Fluid or edema in the heart can sometimes occur as a complication following such procedures.

The buildup of fluid around the heart can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and may need to be addressed promptly. It's important that his condition is monitored closely by his healthcare provider to manage and treat the oedema effectively. Treatment may involve medication to reduce the fluid buildup or other interventions as deemed necessary by his doctor.

Ensure you keep all follow-up appointments and communicate any changes in his symptoms to his healthcare team. They can provide specific guidance and adjust treatment plans based on his condition.

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or have more questions.

Wishing your father a swift recovery.
