What to do if you have a congenital heart disease with atrial septal defect

What to do if you have a congenital heart disease atrial septal defect?

Congenital heart disease, atrial septal defect, is a common disease in cardiovascular medicine, often occurring in people with a family history of genetic diseases and congenital heart structural defects. Patients usually experience chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, heaviness of the head, anxiety and other symptoms. If the disease is not treated promptly and effectively, serious complications such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, brain abscess, pneumonia, cardiac arrest and so on will occur. It can be seen that the disease is very harmful and should be treated in time.

Specific treatment methods are as follows:

1. First aid plan: When congenital atrial septal defect occurs, if the patient has symptoms such as chest tightness and shoulder heaviness, he should take Jiuxin pills immediately. After angina pectoris occurs, blood pressure should be closely monitored. If blood pressure is lower than 90/60 mmHg, nitroglycerin should be taken.

2. Antihypertensive drug treatment: Patients usually have varying degrees of high blood pressure. They can take antihypertensive drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide, metoprolol, bisoprolol, losartan, etc., which can lower blood pressure and relieve related discomfort symptoms.

3. Fat drug treatment: After the disease occurs, patients can also take fat drug treatment. The most commonly used drugs are simvastatin and rosuvastatin, which can prevent the progression of atherosclerosis and are very helpful in the treatment of this disease.

4. Vasodilator drug treatment: After a congenital heart disease atrial septal defect occurs, vasodilator drugs should also be taken appropriately, which can effectively dilate the coronary arteries and improve myocardial ischemia, such as Nicorandil.

5. Anticoagulant drug treatment: If you have this disease, you can also take anticoagulant drugs, such as warfarin, which is usually suitable for patients with atrial fibrillation who are at risk of embolism.

The treatment methods for congenital heart disease atrial septal defect are as above. In addition to drug treatment, surgical treatment is also possible. Common surgical methods include percutaneous coronary intervention, percutaneous mitral valve balloon formation, pericardial puncture drainage, pacemaker implantation, atrial septal defect obstruction, cardiac radiofrequency ablation, etc. Patients can choose the appropriate surgical method according to their condition.
