How to effectively and thoroughly cure congenital heart disease in children

Speaking of congenital heart disease in children, many families are deeply affected by it. Some friends whose children have congenital heart disease want to know how to completely cure this disease. So today, for this reason, we will tell you how to effectively and completely cure congenital heart disease in children.

Let's first understand what congenital heart disease is: Congenital heart disease is a local anatomical structural abnormality caused by the formation of the heart and large blood vessels during the human embryonic development period, or a heart that fails to close the channels that should close automatically after birth. Congenital heart disease is a cardiovascular malformation caused by abnormal development of the heart and blood vessels during the fetal period, and is the most common heart disease in children.

Below we look at the treatments for congenital heart disease:

In the past, whether it was simple or complex congenital heart disease, correction had to rely on surgical operations. With the advancement of science and technology, especially the vigorous development of cardiac catheterization technology, interventional treatment of cardiovascular malformations of congenital heart disease has become possible. At present, a considerable number of congenital heart diseases can be cured through interventional treatment, such as atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary valve stenosis, and fistula from systemic artery to pulmonary artery. Interventional treatment of ventricular septal defect has always been one of the research hotspots in the medical community. In the past, interventional treatment of ventricular septal defect had narrow indications, complex methods, and a high incidence of complications, and it has not been widely popularized and promoted. The recent advent of the Amplatzer occluder has greatly broadened the indications for interventional treatment, reduced surgical complications, and simplified the operation method.

However, since the child has a heart murmur, it will have a certain impact on his future education, employment, and marriage. Now that surgery is very mature, some parents still choose surgery due to these social factors. There are also some small defects, such as ventricular septal defect in the lower part of the trunk, which is close to the aortic valve and is smaller than 0.5cm, but also need active surgical treatment. For children with a defect larger than 0.5cm, surgical treatment is recommended.

Through the above introduction, we hope that everyone can understand that the method of completely curing congenital heart disease in children varies from person to person. Some children can be cured through interventional therapy, but some children require surgery, so they must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Only with the help of a doctor can the child recover as soon as possible.
