A cardiac surgeon is a medical professional who is experienced and skilled in treating heart problems, disorders, diseases, and conditions. They can diagnose certain heart problems and treat them with surgery. They work closely with other medical professionals, such as primary care doctors and cardiologists. Cardiac surgeons often perform surgeries to correct heart problems and heart disease, but they can also work on other areas in the chest.
Thoracic surgery is a surgical subspecialty. Its focus is on the organs of the thoracic cavity. Most of the time, this means the heart and lungs. Patients who need thoracic surgery may have any number of problems, such as heart disease or needing a lung transplant.
