Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, what should I do about a congenital atrial septal defect?Doctor's answer:
Congenital heart disease is a common condition in infants and young children. Based on your description that your child has a congenital atrial septal defect, it is a relatively simple and mild type of congenital heart disease. Children with atrial septal defects are most prone to pulmonary infections, and over time, it can interfere with the child's growth and development. Therefore, it is recommended that you have your child undergo cardiac interventional treatment as soon as possible to avoid affecting heart function. This condition can be completely cured through surgical treatment.
