What to eat more for ventricular septal defect

summary

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) refers to the hypoplasia of the ventricular septum during the embryonic period, resulting in abnormal traffic and left to right shunt at the ventricular level. Ventricular septal defect is the most common congenital heart disease, accounting for about 20% of congenital heart disease. It can exist alone or coexist with other malformations. The defect is usually 0.1-3cm, larger in the membranous part and smaller in the muscular part. The latter is also called Roger's disease. If the defect is less than 0.5cm, the shunt is small and most of them have no clinical symptoms. The heart size was normal in patients with small defect, and the left ventricle was larger in patients with large defect than in patients with right ventricle. What does ventricular septal defect eat more?

What to eat more for ventricular septal defect

First, the diet to general food, semi liquid high protein low salt high fiber diet, a small number of meals, do not overeat. Especially, the fluid intake of patients with ventricular septal defect should be controlled (20-40ml / h for children aged 1-5, 40-80ml / h for children aged 5-10, 80-120ml / h for children aged 10-14).

Second, pay attention to supplement dietary fiber. Besides daily intake of vitamins, patients with congenital heart disease must also supplement dietary fiber for themselves, because it is a substance that cannot be digested and absorbed by human body, but it can promote the excretion of bile acid from feces, reduce the generation of cholesterol in the body, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease. Cellulose mainly exists in vegetables, represented by bamboo shoots, dried plum, celery and leek. Soybean and oats are the main food crops.

Third, pay attention to supplement trace elements. Patients with congenital heart disease lack trace elements in their body, but these trace elements are very important for heart patients. Because selenium in the trace elements can protect the heart, prevent virus infection, is the patron saint of the heart. Chromium can strengthen islet cells, prevent diabetes, and inhibit cholesterol absorption, so as to slow down or prevent the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease. In addition, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iodine and other mineral elements are also beneficial to protect the heart.

matters needing attention

May use breastfeeding, and take a small number of meals, on-demand feeding. Feeding in sections, not too much at a time, rest and exhaust several times in the middle; breast feeding is better, and cyanotic congenital heart disease children adopt knee chest position (knee close to the chest), which is helpful to increase sucking power, more digestible, and the sick baby is not easy to get tired; pay attention to the situation of the sick baby at any time when feeding, if cyanosis occurs, stop feeding immediately when breathing too fast; after the end of feeding Should pat the back exhaust, to the right lying position, raise the head of the bed and observe whether there is spillage.
