Atrial septal defect right heart proportion enlargement surgery treatment good?


Committed to your health journey.
Atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart disease, if not treated in time, it will lead to the gradual increase of right heart pressure, and then right heart failure and other complications. Surgery is the main treatment method for atrial septal defect. Is it good to increase the proportion of right heart in atrial septal defect? Generally speaking, the effect of surgery is better. The purpose of surgery is to close atrial septal defect and restore normal blood circulation, thus reducing the pressure on the right heart. For patients with small ASD and small right heart rate, surgical treatment can achieve good results, and the quality of life and life expectancy of patients after surgery are similar to those of normal people. However, for patients with large ASD and large right heart rate, surgical treatment may be affected to some extent. This may be because the heart has undergone irreversible changes, surgery is difficult to fully restore normal heart structure and function. In addition, the risk of surgery will increase accordingly, and complications such as arrhythmia and heart failure may occur after surgery. In addition to surgical treatment, there are also some adjuvant treatments, such as drug therapy and interventional therapy, for patients with increased right heart rate of atrial septal defect. These treatments can alleviate symptoms and improve cardiac function, but they cannot cure atrial septal defect. It should be noted that the treatment plan for atrial septal defect should be made according to the specific conditions of the patient, including the size of the atrial septal defect, the location, the degree of increase in the proportion of the right heart, the patient's age, symptoms, etc. During the treatment process, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and follow the doctor's recommendations for regular review and follow-up in order to detect and deal with possible problems in time. In conclusion, the surgical treatment of right ventricular proportion enlargement of atrial septal defect has good effect, but it needs to be evaluated and selected according to the specific conditions of patients.
