AB  - “The life so short, the craft so long to learn.”—Hippocrates of Kos (460–370 BC)aka Father of Medicine was a Greek physician, one of the most outstanding figuresin the history of MedicineAccording to the World Health Organization, around 7.2 million men andwomen die every year from coronary heart disease (CHD), which is the leadingcause of cardiovascular death worldwide [1, 2]. In Europe, CHD accountsto approximately 1.95 million deaths yearly of which over 66,000 are in theUK and over 53,000 of those are in England alone [1–3]. It has also beenestimated that 2.3 million people live with CHD in the UK of which 1.9 millionpeople are in England [1, 3]. Considering the UK has a population ofapproximately 67 million, it has been deduced that 3.7% of the UK populationis suffering from CHD.The number of heart disease cases accelerated in early 2000, thereafterrecent advances in primary prevention coupled with percutaneous interventionfor acute myocardial infarction which stabilised and gradually declinedthe morbidity rate [3]. Associated with this decline, a rise in valvular heartdisease has compensated in maintaining the total number of cardiac surgeryprocedures in adults. Multiple studies and guidelines have recommendedongoing improvement of techniques minimising risks to maintain andenhance safety. Currently, it is estimated that more than one million cardiacoperations are performed each year worldwide with the use of the heart-lungmachine, more specifically in the UK 35,158 cardiac surgeries were performedin 2015 [4]. In most cases, the operative mortality is quite low,approaching 1% for some operations [5].Inspired by cardiac surgery and driven to simplify the charm of surgicalprinciples, the goal of this book is to provide surgeons the necessary toolswith review of techniques along with tips and tricks to finetune and exceltheir skills in an ever-expanding field of adult cardiac surgery.
