Atrial septal defect. Ventricular septal defect, what to do?

Patient's question:

My father is 60 years old this year and suffers from heart disease. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was discovered that he has a ventricular septal defect. The problem seems quite serious. I want to help my father get better. What should I do? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

First, if your father discovers a septal defect, it will lead to a series of aspiration blood supply issues. If the septal defect is mild, conservative treatment methods can be adopted, and medications that promote the growth of the septal defect area can be taken. However, if it is indeed severe and causes significant problems, timely catheter intervention treatment or open-heart surgery should be performed to repair the scar.
