Prevention and care of aortic stenosis in infants

Not only adults can have aortic problems, but infants can also have aortic problems. For example, infants may have aortic stenosis. This disease can cause heart problems for infants, or the problem of selling official positions can cause many infants to have this symptom. How should we deal with it? The following article is to introduce it to you parents and friends.

Diet and health care

What foods should you avoid if you have aortic stenosis?

1) High-fat diet

A high-fat diet is not conducive to digestion, will increase the burden on the heart, or induce arrhythmia.

2) High-salt diet

Rheumatic heart disease patients are prone to edema, so the salt intake must be limited to prevent the edema from worsening and the burden on the heart from increasing. The most appropriate daily salt intake for patients with rheumatic heart disease is between 1-5 grams. At the same time, you should eat less sodium-rich foods such as bananas.

3) Drinking too much water

Drinking large amounts of water, tea, soup, juice, or other beverages will quickly increase blood volume, thereby increasing the burden on the heart. Therefore, do not drink too much food or drink, it is best not to exceed 500 ml at a time. When you need to drink more water, drink it in several times, a little less each time, with longer intervals between each drink.

4) Stimulant food and drink and stimulant drugs

Chili pepper, ginger, pepper, tobacco, alcohol, drinking large amounts of strong tea, taking stimulant drugs such as caffeine and amphetamine can increase blood pressure, increase the excitability of the nervous system, lead to faster heart rate, and even induce arrhythmia, thereby increasing the burden on the heart and damaging myocardial valve function. Special attention should be paid when patients with rheumatic heart disease have poor heart function.

Preventive Care

Rheumatic heart disease can be prevented. If the infection of strep throat can be effectively controlled, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease will not occur. The main preventive measures are:

1. Primary prevention refers to preventing the first attack of rheumatic fever. The key is early diagnosis and treatment of thymus tonsillitis. Anyone with fever, sore throat or discomfort, headache, abdominal pain, pharyngeal congestion, and palatine tonsil secretions should have a throat swab culture before treatment to determine whether there is ACL growth. If positive, antibiotic treatment should be started immediately (Table 6).

The above introduces infantile aortic stenosis. In life, everyone must give the baby regular health examinations. Generally speaking, it is not easy to detect from the moment the newborn is born, and it is discovered about one month later.
