Congenital heart disease

Children suffering from such diseases may have more than one of malformations of the heart. If women in early pregnancy, rubella, or poor control of diabetes symptoms occur during pregnancy, or medication, or who have infants birth to suffer from heart disease, she is likely to give birth to children with congenital heart disease. About one-one hundred and fortieth of newborn suffering from heart disease.
 
Types of congenital heart disease are:
 
Is the most common congenital heart disease with Ventricular septal defect. PDA is another fairly common defect, the disease manifested in patent ductus arteriosus in children are still unable to close after birth.
 
Other including common congenital heart disease: Atrial Septal defects-the left and right heart room has an opening, aortic stenosis (aortic stenosis) and pulmonary stenosis (pulmonary valve stenosis).
 
More rare types of congenital heart disease, and possibly more serious defects include: transposition (aortic and pulmonary position upside down), aortic stenosis (diameter of aortic stenosis), tetralogy of fallot-include Ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, aortic ectopic and right ventricular hypertrophy.
 
Heart defects in children with congenital heart disease symptoms depending on the nature and severity, in some cases a doctor doing regular physical examination found in newborns. And other cases you may want to wait until the children a little, even after they grow up to be found.
 
Congenital heart disease will show the following characteristics:
 
1, have a heart murmur.
 
2, child feeding difficulties and loss of weight.
 
3, tongue and lips are blue.
 
4, a little activity, there will be short of breath.
 
So children with congenital heart disease, grow faster than the slower children have a healthy heart.
 
Risk of congenital heart disease may also occur in children with bacterial endocarditis. This heart valve inflammation may arise because the bacteria invade the blood circulatory system, bacteria is usually during the surgery in treatment of dental diseases in children with or invasion of the body.
 
If you know a child with congenital heart disease. When his fever, listless, and loss of appetite is, it should immediately take children to the hospital, because these symptoms mean can occur in children with bacterial endocarditis. Doctor will check the condition of children with. If the doctor suspects a child may be suffering from congenital heart disease, he referred to pediatric practitioners. These experts will do for children with chest x-ray examination and electrocardiogram tests, hospital may also ultrasonic heart scans. These checks will detect the nature and severity of congenital cardiac anomalies.
 
There are many cases of congenital heart disease without surgery cases, as the children grow older and become more better. However, some cases require surgery (some may need surgery in children with 2, 3) in order to save children\'s lives.
 
After treatment, recovery depends on heart disease in children with defects in type and severity. In most cases, Ventricular septal defect in children before the age of 5 it automatically shuts down. Room interval gap is not closed, and the heart of the other unusual symptoms, such as. Closure of atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary valve stenosis or aortic valve stenosis, surgery can be used to be treated. As medical advances over the past more than 20 years, suffering from heart disease, even children with serious heart defects, after growing up, can also lead a normal life.
