How to treat congenital heart disease?

Indeed, in the TV dramas I watched when I was a child, whether Japanese or Korean, there were often protagonists with heart disease. This kind of disease shown in TV dramas also exists in real life and is very widespread. The chance of getting the disease has increased a lot. Congenital means that the disease is present from birth. For patients with congenital diseases, this is a painful disease from the very beginning. We are very sad about this, but we will provide some treatments next.

Congenital cardiovascular disease is the most common type of congenital malformation. Mild cases have no symptoms and are discovered during physical examination. Severe cases may have difficulty breathing after activity, cyanosis, syncope, etc. Older children may have growth retardation. Neonatal heart failure is considered an emergency and is usually caused by a more severe heart defect. Its clinical manifestations are due to congestion of the pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation and reduced cardiac output.

Nutritional conditioning:

1. The diet should mainly consist of normal food, semi-liquid high-protein, low-salt, high-fiber diet, small meals, avoid overeating, and limit tobacco, alcohol, tea, coffee and stimulating foods.

2. Attention should be paid to the mother's health care during pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, such as actively preventing viral infections such as rubella, influenza, and mumps. Avoid exposure to radiation and some harmful substances.

3. Pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid nutritional deficiencies.

The indoor air needs to be circulated. In winter, windows should be opened regularly to enhance air convection. Children with persistent cyanosis should avoid high indoor temperatures, which may cause sweating and dehydration.

4. Provide a high-protein, high-calorie, vitamin-rich diet to enhance physical fitness. Avoid eating too much. Children with cyanotic heart disease must be given enough water to avoid dehydration and thrombosis.

5. Avoid the child from getting emotionally agitated, try not to let the child cry, and reduce unnecessary stimulation to avoid increasing the burden on the heart.

6. Keep bowel movements smooth. Children with cyanotic bowel movements should be careful not to strain too much so as not to increase the burden on the heart. If you haven't had a bowel movement for two days, you can use a suppository to relieve the bowel movement.

Pregnant women must be careful not to sit in places with strong magnetic fields for too long during pregnancy, because the baby's organs are not fully developed in the early stages. Also, try not to get close to pets as they may be infected with bacteria. Also, be careful not to catch a cold or come into contact with harmful substances. Also, take in nutrition in time to ensure the normal development of the baby.
