Patient's question:
For the past few days, I haven't been able to eat properly, and my voice has also become hoarse. I've been feeling dizzy, and after a thorough examination, it was discovered that I have congenital heart disease. I want to ask, how long can people with congenital heart disease live?Doctor's answer:
Congenital heart disease comes in many different forms and is very complex. As for how long people with congenital heart disease can live, many children with congenital heart disease cannot receive timely treatment, leading to a large number of adult patients with congenital heart disease. However, due to interference from medical conditions and a lack of expert medical knowledge, adult patients with congenital heart disease cannot be understood in a timely manner. Typically, they only undergo thorough medical examinations in the hospital after symptoms of heart failure reappear. The expected lifespan varies for each type of congenital heart disease. For patients with the same type of congenital heart disease, the prognosis differs due to individual differences.
