What is a cardiothoracic condition?

'Cardiothoracic’ is an umbrella term that refers to the heart, lungs and other organs located within your thoracic (chest) cavity. There are both cardiovascular conditions (affecting the heart and blood vessels) and thoracic conditions (affecting the lungs and associated structures). 

Not all heart and lung conditions require surgical treatment, but if they do you will be referred to cardiothoracic surgery.

Cardiovascular conditions we treat

A cardiovascular condition is one that affects the heart and blood vessels. Some conditions can be treated through non-surgical means in our cardiology department.

Thoracic conditions we treat

A thoracic condition is one that affects the lungs and associated structures, like the airways. Some conditions can be treated through non-surgical means in our respiratory medicine department.
