Congenital heart disease includes atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, arterial conduit failure and tetralogy of Fallot, and surgical treatment is mostly performed at the age of 3 to 8 years.
1. Atrial septal defects: Small secondary foramen ovale type atrial septal defects can be partially closed naturally. Larger defects should be repaired at 3-8 years of age.
2. Ventricular septal defect: It should be treated early, and most of them can be operated at around two years old.
3. Arterial ductus arteriosus: indomethacin can be used first, and most patients can be closed. If drug treatment is ineffective, surgery should be performed as early as possible.
4. Tetralogy of Fallot: patients with mild disease can be considered for radical surgery before school age, but those with obvious clinical symptoms should have radical surgery within 6 months after birth.
If you suffer from prevalent heart disease, you should be admitted to the hospital in time, so as to clarify the type of the disease and carry out the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
