Atrioventricular septal defect with communication at the ventricular level only
概述
Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a congenital heart defect that affects the septum, or wall, between the atria and ventricles of the heart. In AVSD, there is a hole in the septum that allows blood to flow between the atria and ventricles, which can cause problems with the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
In the case of AVSD with communication at the ventricular level only, the hole is located in the lower part of the septum, between the ventricles. This type of AVSD is also known as a partial AVSD or a primum defect.
Symptoms of AVSD with communication at the ventricular level only can vary depending on the size of the defect and the age of the patient. Infants with a large defect may have difficulty feeding, poor weight gain, and rapid breathing. Older children and adults may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, and an increased risk of developing infections in the lungs or heart.
Treatment for AVSD with communication at the ventricular level only typically involves surgery to repair the defect. The timing of 「aiyiAI之copyright」surgery will depend on the severity of the defect and the age of the patient. In some cases, surgery may be performed in infancy, while in others it may be delayed until later in childhood or adulthood.
After surgery, patients will need to be closely monitored by a cardiologist to ensure that the defect has been successfully repaired and that the heart is functioning properly. In some cases, additional surgeries or treatments may be necessary to address any complications that arise.
Overall, AVSD with communication at the ventricular level only is a serious heart condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. With appropriate medical care, however, many patients are able to lead healthy, active lives.
