Patient: I was diagnosed with congenital ductus arteriosus at a very young age, and when I was ten years old, I had surgery with good results and good development, and now I am 23 years old and don’t feel anything abnormal. I had a girlfriend for 5 years, and we had a good relationship, but when my father found out about my condition, he was against us. Now I want to ask you: is my disease the same as normal people after surgery? Will it affect my future life? I would like to go to Fu Wai Hospital for a medical checkup during the holidays to see if my body is abnormal or not, and I would like to ask you about the cost. I know you are very busy, so I hope you can give me some answers! Thank you! Cardiac surgeon: It’s okay, this disease is the same as normal people after surgery (except for the multiple scars), so don’t worry about it. The parents of your girlfriend’s feelings can be understood, the key you two understand each other on the line, the work of the elderly can slowly do. You can choose an appropriate time to do something such as lifting gas bottles and other strenuous exercise to them, to show your good cardiorespiratory function.
