In cardiac care, “Time is Muscle.” If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a severe coronary blockage, a leaking valve, critical triple vessel disease, or an aortic aneurysm, delays in treatment can increase medical risk. Waiting several months for elective surgery in some healthcare systems may not be clinically appropriate in selected high-risk cases. However, emergency decision-making must always be guided by a qualified cardiologist or cardiac surgeon.
