Patient information: Age: 8 Gender: Male
Atrial septal defect and foramen ovale Openness usually makes no difference.
Atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale are both caused by congenital heart disease. If the area of the defect is not very large, there will usually be no obvious symptoms such as discomfort and mental failure, and observation and treatment can be performed first. When there is severe chest pain and chest tightness, it is necessary to go to the hospital for all aspects of examination in time to avoid delaying the best treatment time.
If the defect is more serious, it needs to be treated by surgery. During the illness, it is necessary to stay in bed and keep a comfortable mood, which is conducive to the condition and improves as soon as possible.
Recommendations are for reference only. If the problem is serious, please go to the hospital for detailed examination
