C. 1967
D. 1893

Answer 1

Hint:- : Heart is an organ that receives blood through veins from different body parts and distributes blood to various body parts via arteries. It is situated in the thoracic cavity of the body.

Complete step-by-step solution:- Heart surgery, also called cardiac surgery is the surgery done on the great vessels or heart that helps in treating various complications of the body like congenital heart disease, atherosclerosis, rheumatic heart diseases, etc. It includes procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting, heart transplantation, etc.
Open heart surgery can be any kind of surgery that requires the surgeon to make a large cut in the chest and open the rib cage for operating on the heart. Generally in such surgeries, the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass and his heart is temporarily stopped to make it easier to perform the surgery.
The first successful open-heart surgery was done on July 9, 1893 by an African-American doctor Daniel Hale Williams. He performed the surgery on a young man named James Cornish who was stabbed in the chest.
So the correct answer is 4. 1893.
Additional information: The various types of the heart diseases are:
Myocardial infarction- It is also called the heart attack and it is caused due to the insufficient blood supply to part of cardiac muscles that may cause the death of that part.
Heart failure- It is the state of the heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the need of the body.
Angina pectoris- In this, due to blockage or thickening of the coronary vessel’s wall there is inadequate blood flow to heart muscles associated with pain in the heart during exertion or emotional tension.

b>Note:- ** Heart pumps blood to the various parts of the body and the blood helps in the transport of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, etc. inside the body. So it is very important that the functioning of the heart is healthy to maintain proper supply of these materials to all body parts.
