Total heart enlargement is generally not well treated.
Enlargement of the whole heart refers to enlargement of the left atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, and right ventricle, and is a structural change of the heart that occurs in the advanced stages of heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and hypertensive heart disease. Enlargement of the whole heart is more serious, and the heart function will be reduced, and serious complications such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation may occur, which may endanger the life of the patient. Therefore, the treatment of enlarged heart is generally more complicated.
If patients with enlarged heart have decreased cardiac function, they should follow the doctor’s instructions to use drugs such as deacetyl furfuryl glucoside, furosemide, sacubitril valsartan, etc. to improve cardiac function and reverse myocardial remodeling, and pay attention to the side effects of low potassium and dizziness.
At the same time, actively find the cause of the disease, for different causes of treatment, such as coronary heart disease, can consider coronary artery bypass grafting; such as hypertensive heart disease, standardize the use of amlodipine, valsartan and other drugs to lower blood pressure treatment, medication attention to low blood pressure, ankle edema and other side effects; such as cardiac valvular disease, can be considered to perform a heart valve replacement or repair surgery.
Through the above treatment, the progress of the disease can be largely delayed. Therefore, patients with enlarged whole heart must cooperate with doctors for active treatment.
