Right-to-left shunt potential type 1, i.e., congenital heart disease right-to-left shunt potential type 1, the patient’s pulmonary artery pressure rises significantly, the pressure of the right heart exceeds that of the left heart, and the patient may have cyanosis, palpitations, dyspnea and other symptoms, which is a more critical situation, and should be given medication and surgical treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
1. Drug therapy: patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to apply beta-blockers (such as propranolol, metoprolol, etc.) to reduce myocardial oxygen consumption. For patients who already have heart failure, surgery is not suitable, and diuretics (e.g., furosemide), ACEI drugs (e.g., captopril) and other drugs can be used to slow down the development of the disease.
2. Surgical treatment: patients may be due to Fallot’s triad, Fallot’s tetralogy, etc. On the advice of the doctor, according to the specific conditions of the patient can be treated by surgical suture of the patent foramen ovale, repair of the atrial septal defect, incision of the stenosis of the pulmonary valve annulus, resection of the right hypertrophic myocardium, and so on.
Patients with right-to-left shunt potential type 1 should undergo standardized treatment under professional doctor’s guidance in time to avoid delay.
