The history of coronary arteryThe two coronary arteries, the right and the left, form the blood network that supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients. They are located directly on the surface of the heart and branch into smaller vessels that bypass surgery reflects the evolution of techniques that led to the development of the concept of a “bypass” to restore bloodBlood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide. White blood cells make up our immune defense system. Platelets contribute to blood flow beyond coronary blockages.
An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital abnormality characterized by an opening between the two atriaThe atria are the two upper chambers of the heart. They act as reservoirs for blood that will fill the ventricles. of the heart. Often silent during childhood, it may be diagnosed in adulthood.

Chronic mitral regurgitation is a progressive leak of the mitral valve that can remain silent for a long time. Learn about its causes, effects, and progression.
The mitral valve regulates bloodBlood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide. White blood cells make up our immune defense system. Platelets contribute to blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Learn how it works and the differences between mitral regurgitation and mitral stenosis.
Epicardial fat necrosis is a rare and benign cause of chest pain. Often overlooked, it can mimic more serious heart conditions, which explains the use of imaging tests such as CT scan or cardiac MRI.
