A member asked:
Is it normal to have a fever after having bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Fever is a result of inflammation. Infection is only one of many causes of inflammation. Cardiac surgery alone can cause inflammation and fever, but various infections can result from surgery as well. Fever recently after heart surgery should be evaluated by a medical professional.
