Can congenital heart disease in children be completely cured?

Many people do not know much about congenital heart disease in children. They only know that it is a kind of heart defect that children are born with. There are two opinions about this disease. One is that it will get better without treatment, and the other is that it cannot be cured no matter how you treat it. So today, let's discuss this issue with you. Can congenital heart disease in children be completely cured?

Let's take a look at the good methods for treating congenital heart disease: Currently, the more mature methods for treating congenital heart disease in children include surgical treatment, interventional treatment, and drug treatment. The choice of treatment method and when is the most appropriate time for surgery should be based on the condition of the child, and the cardiologist should make recommendations based on the specific situation of the child. For those with no shunt or left-to-right shunt, the effect is good and the prognosis is better after timely surgery. For those with right-to-left shunt or complex malformations, the condition is more serious, and the surgery is complicated and difficult. Some patients cannot be completely corrected due to the imperfect development of certain heart structures, and can only undergo palliative surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

So is there any case where it can be cured without treatment? There are also a small number of congenital heart diseases that have the opportunity to heal themselves before the age of 5. In addition, a small number of patients have mild deformities and no obvious impact on circulatory function, and do not need any treatment, but most patients need surgery to correct the deformity. With the rapid development of medical technology, the effect of surgery has been greatly improved. At present, most patients can recover to normal like normal people if they receive timely surgical treatment, their growth and development will not be affected, and they can meet the needs of ordinary work, study and life.

Now everyone knows that although there are cases of congenital heart disease that can heal completely on its own, they are not numerous. Therefore, every child with congenital heart disease must be diagnosed by a doctor to determine whether treatment is needed. If treatment is not given blindly, in case irreversible consequences are caused, I believe this is a result that no one wants to see.
