Ventricular septal defect, pulmonary hypertension seeking treatment?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling 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. I'm asking about the treatment for ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a significant ventricular septal defect has already led to pulmonary artery hypertension, it is recommended to undergo surgery early to repair the ventricular septum. Later, close monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure should be conducted. If the pressure remains very high, medication treatment can be administered. Generally, after scar repair, heart structure and hemodynamics return to normal, and most cases of pulmonary artery hypertension can be corrected. For specific cardiovascular surgical examination and treatment.
