Effects of congenital heart defects

Generally, congenital heart disease will be discovered in the fetal period, which will affect the normal development and growth of the fetus. Therefore, the impact of congenital heart defects on patients is great. Although he suffers from congenital heart disease, he can still undergo surgical treatment after birth, and the success rate of treatment is relatively high. Congenital heart disease can cause abnormal blood flow, resulting in obstruction of blood supply to various organs, and should be treated promptly.

Congenital heart disease can cause many harms to the fetus. First, it will cause abnormal blood flow in the fetus, and in severe cases, it may cause fainting or sudden death. It will also cause blood supply obstruction to the fetal organs, which will affect the child's normal growth and development. Because children have abnormal heart structure, they are very susceptible to endocarditis. It will also increase blood flow to the lungs, and the fetus will suffer psychological pressure and be unwilling to get along with others. Let us now take a closer look at the dangers of congenital heart disease in the fetus.

First, abnormal blood flow. Because fetuses with congenital heart disease will have hemodynamic abnormalities, which will increase the burden on the child's heart. If a sudden phenomenon occurs, heart failure may occur, inducing malignant arrhythmias, and in severe cases, sudden death may occur. Therefore, family members must observe carefully and take emergency measures immediately if the fetus shows any abnormality.

Second, organ blood supply disorder. Fetuses with congenital heart disease will experience some blood supply disorders in the body's tissues and organs, and in severe cases, may suffer from tissue hypoxia. Then it will affect the child's normal growth, and the child's heart function will be weaker than other children. Some small emotional fluctuations in life can also cause sudden heart attacks or even fainting.

Third, abnormal heart structure. If some children have congenital heart structure abnormalities or congenital malformations, it will cause damage to the local endocardial structure in the child's body. Infective endocarditis is very likely to occur. That would aggravate the patient's condition, make treatment more troublesome, and be detrimental to the patient's recovery.

Fourth, it causes psychological harm. Some children with congenital heart disease will know that they are different from others after they are born and cannot chase and play with others. Then it will cause psychological harm and psychological burden in the long run, and in severe cases it will even cause autism. They are unwilling to communicate with others, unwilling to play with others, and some of them may even show signs of depression.

Fifth, blood flow to the lungs increases. If some fetuses have congenital heart disease, it will increase blood flow to the lungs, which will then make the fetus prone to repeated lung infections. Lung infection is very serious because the virus can invade other places and cause bigger problems, so you should go to the hospital for regular checkups and use some methods to control the disease.

For fetuses with congenital heart disease, it can cause many harms to the body. Because patients with congenital heart disease have abnormal heart structure and some heart systems are malformed. Because of the abnormal blood flow in the fetus, engaging in some strenuous activities will cause fainting or even sudden death. It will also be infected by some viruses and diseases, which will aggravate the condition. Congenital heart disease has a great impact on the fetus. Be sure to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to control the disease.
