What symptom can adult congenital heart disease have

summary

Some people are very unfortunate, because they suffered from heart disease when they were just born, but the early symptoms of heart disease are not very obvious, so those patients with congenital heart disease must actively cooperate with the treatment when they are young, which is good for their own heart, so what are the symptoms of adult congenital heart disease? Now let's talk about it.

What symptom can adult congenital heart disease have

The mechanism of congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension is complex, and there are many factors involved. However, the main mechanism of adult congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension is left to right shunt, such as large VSD. Early pulmonary artery banding can avoid pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, the key to the prevention of pulmonary hypertension in congenital heart disease is the same as the treatment principle of congenital heart disease.

Surgical and non-surgical adult patients with congenital heart disease can be complicated with arrhythmia at a certain stage of the disease, which affects the prognosis of patients and is closely related to sudden death. After interventional therapy, because of the direct compression of the occluder on the atrial and ventricular muscles and conduction system, arrhythmia and conduction block may also occur. At the same time, surgery can directly cause injury of sinus node, atrioventricular conduction system, scar of atrium and ventricle, and can cause electrophysiological abnormality and fatal arrhythmia.

In adult patients with congenital heart disease, there is a blood pressure gradient at the lesions of abnormal heart valve, vascular malformation and abnormal shunt in the cardiac cavity, which causes strong blood jet and eddy current. Under the impact of the jet of blood flow, the endothelium of endocardium is damaged, collagen is exposed, and platelet cellulose thrombus is formed. Eddy current can make bacteria precipitate in the proximal end of the low pressure chamber Abnormal blood flow out of the damaged endocardium, easy to form infective endocarditis.

matters needing attention

quit smoking. Smokers are twice as likely to have heart disease as nonsmokers. The study found that two to three years after quitting smoking, the risk of heart disease will drop to the same level as non-smokers. Pay attention to your diet. Daily life to eat low-fat food, such as lean meat and low-fat dairy products.
