Patient's question:
Daughter has been diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries since birth and has been receiving treatment in the hospital. Could you please explain what transposition of the great arteries in children is? How is transposition of the great arteries in children diagnosed? Is the traditional Chinese medicine treatment effective for transposition of the great arteries in children?Doctor's answer:
During development, the heart tube rotates to the left, or the aortic cone from the ventricular origin is not helically formed and separates along a straight line. The right ventricle is on the left, the left ventricle is on the right, or the aorta is on the right. The position of the pulmonary artery changes to the right rear. ECG examination: Changes such as right axis deviation and right atrial and ventricular hypertrophy can be observed. If combined, the distance between the two atria can also be seen. Ultrasound examination: Two echoes of the aortic valve and pulmonary valve are observed at the same probe location. Perhaps the aorta is in the left front, the pulmonary artery is behind, and combined with endocardial deformation. Sensor surgery: This procedure is used to treat complete transposition of the great arteries.
