Interlock's disease overview

What is ASD disease? What is atrial heart disease?

What is ASD disease? Atrial heart disease (ASD: Atrial Septal Defect) is a congenital heart disease (appearing during pregnancy or in newborn babies). ASD disease occurs when there is an open hole in the atrial wall, the separation between the two atria in the heart. Normally, the heart will have 4 chambers, including two atrial heart separated by the atrial wall and two ventricle separated by the ventricular walls, 2 atrium and 2 ventricles separated from each other by 2 atrial valve ring loss.  

And during pregnancy, the formation of atrial wall occurs in the first 3 months of pregnancy. The atrial wall is formed by the first and second walls. If the formation of the atrial wall is defective, it will lead to the atrial diseases. 

The atrial septal has four forms: the first atrial hole (Tien Phat hole), the second hole (secondary loss), sinus sinus type, sinus atrial sinus. 

Causes of Interlock's disease

Causes

after understanding what ASD disease is heart disease we will find out the cause of the disease. Currently, the cause of the atrial ventilation has not been fully understood, however, there are some signs that genetic factors can play a role in this disease.  

Besides, some factors during pregnancy may increase the risk of congenital heart disease for the fetus, including:

  • Rubella infection: Rubella infection in the early stages of pregnancy may increase the risk of heart defects for the fetus. 
  • Using addictive substances, tobacco, alcohol or exposure to stimulants such as cocaine during pregnancy can affect the development of the fetus and cause disease congenital heart. 
  • Diabetes or lupus: Diabetes or lupus may also increase the risk of fetus with congenital heart disease. 

    • Although the exact cause of the Turkish has not been determined, these factors may play a role in creating a environmental disease that is easy to develop with congenital heart disease. In the fetus. 

    Symptoms of Interlock's disease

    Most children with atrial baffle defects are often asymptomatic and often healthy and operate normally. However, if the atrial hole is large, the patient may undergo some of the following signs and symptoms:

  • Easy to fatigue: Large blood flow from left atrial to right atrium can cause left atrium a burden greater than usual, leading to a feeling of fatigue. 

    • rapid breathing: The overload of the left atrium can lead to increased volume and pressure, causing the heart to work faster to meet the need to enhance oxygen transportation in Body. 

  • Difficulty: The increase in blood flow from the left atrium to the right atrial and right ventricle can cause pressure in the pulmonary artery, causing shortness of breath. 
  • Growing growth: Large atrial heart condition can affect children's development and growth. 
  • often suffer from respiratory infections: A opposite blood flow due to the atrial septal can increase the risk of respiratory infections. 

    • Arrhythmic disorders: There may be heart rate problems, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial atrial, when the heart does not beat evenly. 

  • Older children and adults with atrial heart disease may suffer from migraine. However, there are not many specific studies that prove whether the atrial interlock is the cause of migraine symptoms. 

    • People at risk for Interlock's disease

  • Rubella: Rubella especially in the first months of pregnancy will increase the risk of congenital heartbreaks in general
  • Smoking, alcohol abuse during pregnancy
  • Gestational diabetes
  • Parents with congenital heart disease
  • Mothers have systematic disease: Lupus erythematosus

    • Prevention of Interlock's disease

  • Atrial septal (ASD) is a form of congenital heart disease, and in most cases there is no specific way to prevent it. However, there are some healthy measures and lifestyles that can help reduce the risk of congenital heart disease, including atrial heart disease. Here are some measures:
  • Full vaccination before pregnancy: Make sure you have fully vaccinated and follow the vaccination schedule, especially Rubella vaccination, because Rubella can create a risk of deformities heart in the fetus. 
  • Lose weight if necessary: ​​If you are overweight or obese, try to lose weight before pregnancy. Excessive weight may increase the risk of heart defects in the fetus. 

    • Healthy diet: Maintain a healthy and balanced diet, including many green vegetables, fruits, nutritious foods and avoid animal foods Fat, fast food, and foods high in sugar and salt. 

  • Health conditions before pregnancy: Before pregnancy, consult your doctor for overview of overview and treatment of any pathology, such as the disease. Diabetes or lupus. 

    • Remember that compliance with health protection measures is important to reduce the risk of congenital heart disease and fetal health protection. 

  • Pregnancy age: There is no hard and fast limit of pregnancy, but there are some people who think that giving birth at age> 35 can increase the risk of heart defects . However, this depends on each case and specific health situation. 
  • Avoid the source of infection during pregnancy: Avoid exposure to the source of infection such as rubella, safe food treatment and limit exposure to toxic chemicals during pregnancy. 
  • Sugar control: If you have a history of diabetes, good blood sugar management before and during pregnancy to reduce the risk of cardiac complications for the fetus. 
  • avoid smoking, drinking, and using addictive substances during pregnancy: for the health of the fetus, avoiding smoking, drinking alcohol, and using substances Addiction is very important. These substances can cause many side effects and the risk of heart defects. 

    • Diagnostic measures for Interlock's disease

  • There are several methods of diagnosing atrial heart disease (ASD) as follows:
  • Heart doppler ultrasound: Heart doppler ultrasound is an important method in the diagnosis of ASD disease. It allows the doctor to consider the specific location of the hole, its size, the direction of the blood flow from the right atrium to the left atrium through the cylinder, assess the pressure in the pulmonary artery and observe the interactions. With the surrounding heart structure. 

    • Economic ultrasound: echocardiography through the esophagus is an accurate method of evaluating the shape and size of the catheter. It provides the necessary information to consider the ability to intervene to clog the hole with cardiovascular or surgical intervention. 

  • chest X-ray: chest X-ray may indicate indirect signs of the disease, such as right atrial, right ventricular dilatation and changes in the pulmonary artery. Although it is impossible to determine the exact hole, it can help identify changes in the heart structure. 
  • electrocardiogram: ECG recording electrocardiography and can display signs of increasing right ventricle or heart rate problems, such as right branch block block, which can be attached to Atrial heart disease. 

    • Is the atrial heart disease dangerous? 

    Atrial heart disease (ASD) can be dangerous depending on the size of the hole and complications of the disease. Here are some situations on risks and complications related to the atrial septal:

    Small pine hole

    usually small holes do not cause danger and do not need intervention. 

    large vents

    If the hole is large, it can cause serious complications, including:

  • The right heart failure: The blood flow into the right ventricle increases, causing fatigue and weakness of the right ventricle. 

    • Passional disorders: Large catheter can lead to arrhythmia due to increased pressure in the right ventricle. 

  • Reduce life: If not treated, complications can affect the life of the patient. 
    • Serious complications are less common, including:
  • pulmonary turbocharger: If the large catheter is not treated, The blood flow to the lungs may increase, leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. 

    • Eisenmenger syndrome: This is a complex condition, stemming from pulmonary hypertension due to untreated congenital heart defects. This disease can cause serious complications to the heart and lungs and may be a very dangerous condition. 

    In short, the risk and complications of the atrial heart disease depend on the size of the catheter and have or untreated. Timely monitoring and intervention can help prevent serious complications. 

    Interlock's disease treatments

    Treatment of atrial heart disease currently has two methods: intervention intervention with tools or surgery. In which, the tool is only applied to the second atrial hole, other forms need surgery. The tool is as follows: The doctor will put the tools through the blood vessel into the heart chamber, control under the brightness. When accessing the hole, the tool will bring the device to the steak. This is a high technique, less invasive than surgery, patients recover faster. 

    indicated to close the atrial hole when:

  • Clinically symptomatic symptoms: Difficulty breathing, reducing exertion
  • If there are no symptoms, closing ventilation:
  • Show signs of right overload, right ventricular hypertrophy

    • There is an inverse embolism

  • If there is an increase in pulmonary artery pressure, it is necessary to explore to accurately measure pulmonary pressure, lung resistance to decide whether or not to intervene.
  • Contraindications for closing holes if there is a clinical eisenmenger syndrome
    • How to take care of patients with atrial septal and prevent complications

    Care for people with atrial heart disease (ASD) requires some habits and scientific lifestyle to control the disease and prevent complications. Here are some important care measures:

  • Exercise: For patients with ASD, exercise is usually not banned, but should be performed under the guidance of health experts. This ensures safe and effective exercise, especially in the case of complications such as arrhythmia, heart failure, or pulmonary hypertension. 
  • Nutrition: Balancing important diet to maintain cardiovascular health. Including many groups of substances, supplementing with vegetables, cereals, and limiting cholesterol as well as fat can help reduce the risk of heart complications. 
  • Avoid inflammation: Patients with ASD are at a higher risk of pneumonia and respiratory infections. It is important to follow the doctor's treatment regimen and use the drug properly according to the prescription. This helps ensure that treatment is done effectively and reduces the risk of inflammation. 

    • In addition, it is important that patients with atrial heart disease need to regularly check the health, follow the examination schedule and monitor the doctor's instructions. Collaborating with health experts and adhering to the care measures is an effective way to maintain health and prevent complications for patients.
