Myocardial defects, generally referred to as atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects, etc., need to be treated with catheterization or surgery depending on the specific type.
1. Atrial septal defects: there are usually no voluntary symptoms in childhood; in youth, they may cause shortness of breath, palpitations and weakness. Most of these defects close spontaneously in childhood. If they do not close spontaneously, they may affect growth and development, induce pneumonia and heart failure, and cause pulmonary hypertension. It is recommended to undergo catheterization, atrial septal defect occlusion, or surgery, atrial septal defect repair.
2. Ventricular septal defect: The more common symptoms are shortness of breath, excessive sweating, fatigue and dyspnea. If the ventricular septal defect is not big, it is usually asymptomatic and can be observed continuously, with the tendency of self-healing; if the ventricular septal defect is bigger, it needs to be treated actively, and the common treatments are catheterization, ventricular septal defect occlusion; open thoracic surgery, direct-vision repair, and so on.
Therefore, if you suffer from the symptoms of heart defects, it is necessary to improve further examination, and the specialist will provide treatment plans according to the examination results.
