  1. Knee Replacement: The procedure is performed on over 650,000 people worldwide each year1. The average age of patients ranges from 48 to 70 years opting for partial or full replacement. Knee deformities beyond 15o, or advanced symptoms of arthritis, require a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. It is performedto ease pain and disability caused by joints, such as: A fracture or dislocation Joint swelling Knee joint pain while resting Redness or warmth at a joint, suggesting infection Swelling, pain, or redness below the knee suggesting a clot in the vein However there have been studies which suggest post-operatory risks of a myocardial infraction (heart attack), immediately starting first month after knee surgery. The risks were found to increase with age2. The odds of blood clots in lungs and veins increase from the first month and can last for years after the surgery is performed. Primarily there might be a systemic disorder where the entire human body is involved in a chronic stress response, covering every system from insulin regulation to innate immunity. During cardiac ischemia, millions of myocytes are lost resulting in loss of contractile function.

  2. Risks of Heart Attack: Patients have predictably poor functional capacity, undergoing joint replacement surgery, thereby making it a sub-optimal predictor of cardiac complications. Several traditional risk factors for cardiac complications of non-cardiac surgery also apply to the patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. The congestion may develop in the liver, abdomen, lower extremities, lungs, etc. Prescription medication, in particular, can alleviate symptoms as they are administered based on: the stage of the surgery the nature and severity of congestive heart failure symptoms tolerance for side effects other factors and circumstances that would be contributing to (and possibly be the primary cause of) heart's weakened state However, as with all powerful drugs, the side effects can be almost as problematic as the heart failure symptoms. Also, the treatment is highly dependent on the economic resources of individual patients as they require access to longitudinal care and expensive technology. Only 0.08% of Indians have health insurance compared to developed countries3.
