Are single ventricle fetuses rare?

summary

Single ventricle, also known as total ventricle, is a rare congenital malformation. Most patients with single ventricle have obvious congenital heart disease manifestations in early years, such as cyanosis, tachycardia or slow weight gain, which attracts people's attention when the newborn or infant gets up early. For patients with more pulmonary blood, they often get up early without finding out. The natural life span of patients with single ventricle is shorter without treatment. The main causes of death are congestive heart failure and arrhythmia, or unexplained sudden death. From the embryological basis, the formation of single ventricle is due to the failure of the atrioventricular canal to align with the developing ventricle, so that both atrioventricular valves face to one ventricle.

Many single ventricles need two-stage or even three-stage surgery, and eventually make the whole cavopulmonary artery connection surgery, which separates the pulmonary circulation from the systemic circulation. The purpose is to remove the intracardiac blood shunt and improve cyanosis. The second is to reduce the heart load. The recovery after surgery varies from person to person. The recovery after surgery can reach or close to the normal human living standard, and some women can have children.

Some patients will have cyanosis several years after one-stage operation and need to be operated on in the next stage. Some patients can improve their symptoms very well after one-stage operation. Some patients can't refuse to accept the operation because of choking because of poor pulmonary vascular development and some complications. Most of the recovery is good, But if you don't do it, you never know what will happen.

When the child suffered from heart disease, there may be symptoms of dyspnea, and if the child has symptoms of poor breathing, it will seriously affect life and cause damage to life. In order to reduce the occurrence of this symptom, so the need for timely treatment of children.

matters needing attention

During the treatment of children's heart disease, we should also pay attention to the children's diet life. In the food that children eat, we must adopt the lifestyle of common food, semi liquid high protein, low salt and high cellulose diet, a small number of meals, and do not overeat. We also need to pay attention to the control of children's violent activity symptoms.
