How to treat congenital heart disease?

I believe everyone will feel scared when they hear about heart disease. It is true that heart disease is difficult to treat, especially congenital heart disease in children. Many treasure moms and treasure dads will be at a loss when they hear that their children have this disease. So today, let's talk about this terrible congenital heart disease in children and how to treat it. In fact, most heart diseases can still be cured.

Everyone knows that our normal heart is divided into four chambers, namely, left and right atria and left and right ventricles. These two atria are not connected with each other, and so are the two ventricles. If two atria are connected, we call it atrial septal defect. Congenital heart disease in children is a common disease that seriously harms children's physical and mental health. If this disease is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on children's life and study, and even threaten their lives. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the keys to saving these children's lives.

In fact, congenital heart disease is a kind of heart disease that exists after birth, and then congenital heart disease develops abnormally in the mother's stomach, that is, some channels that should have been closed are not closed, and the atrium and ventricle are not separated. Abnormal heart structure caused by abnormal development of mother's stomach still exists after birth. It's called congenital heart disease ? The exact cause of congenital heart malformation is not clear, but it can be roughly divided into two categories, namely environmental factors and genetic factors.

When we go to the hospital, we are usually advised to do traditional thoracotomy for congenital heart disease. Thoracotomy is risky, and the ribs have to be broken, leaving a big scar after the operation. There is also a need for a large number of blood transfusions, blood transfusion is also easy to bring some viral infections, and some will also cause blood clots. Therefore, this treatment is still very risky, and some children can't get off the operating table. With the development of medical technology, most congenital heart diseases can be treated by minimally invasive methods, that is, interventional methods. Interventional hospitalization time is short, usually four or five days in hospital, and some even can be discharged after two or three days in hospital. ? This therapy is less risky than other therapies, and many of them recover quickly, so it is worth a try. Finally, I hope all babies with congenital heart disease can get good treatment and recover soon.
