Abstract

The main purpose of the football premiership is to provide entertainment. Competition is a source of excitement in sport, and league tables are essential tools to measure success. The prime target of cardiothoracic surgery is to restore health, often in life threatening circumstances. The process requires the application of highly technical and skilled surgery, anaesthesia, and intensive care by numerous professionals, to achieve a favourable outcome for the patient.
