Patient's question:
My son has been quite normal since his birth, except that he answers questions a bit slowly. I don't feel like he has any problems. The child is now in elementary school, and the teacher said he might have low intelligence. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it was caused by congenital heart disease. How treatable is low intelligence caused by congenital heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, congenital heart disease will not lead to intellectual disability. The cause of intellectual disability may be some brain diseases. In this case, it is recommended to consider hospital visits for relevant examinations before considering targeted symptomatic treatment. If it is caused by congenital factors, it is generally difficult to treat. In terms of diet, it is also necessary to consume more brain-nourishing and intelligence-enhancing drugs and foods.
