Three obvious symptoms of congenital heart disease in adults!

For some people, they may be very unfortunate at birth, for example, they suffer from terrible congenital heart disease shortly after birth. This disease may have adverse effects on the patient's life. What are the symptoms of congenital heart disease in adults? I will tell you.

1. Adult congenital heart disease with pulmonary artery hypertension

The mechanism of congenital heart disease combined with pulmonary artery hypertension is complex, and many factors are involved. However, the main mechanism of congenital heart disease combined with pulmonary artery hypertension in adults is the presence of left-to-right shunt. For example, large VSD can be avoided by early pulmonary artery ligation surgery.

2. Adult congenital heart disease combined with arrhythmia

Surgical and non-surgical adult congenital heart disease patients may suffer from arrhythmias at certain stages of the disease, which affects the patient's prognosis and is closely related to sudden death. After interventional treatment and placement of an occluder, arrhythmias and conduction block may also occur due to the direct pressure of the occluder on the atrial and ventricular muscles and the conduction system.

3. Congenital heart disease and infective endocarditis in adults

Adult patients with congenital heart disease have a blood pressure gradient at the site of heart valve abnormalities, vascular malformations, and abnormal intracardiac shunts, which causes strong blood ejection and eddying. Under the impact of the blood ejection, the endothelium of the endocardium is damaged, collagen is exposed, and platelet-fibrous thrombus is formed. The eddying can cause bacteria to precipitate on the damaged endocardium at the proximal end of the low-pressure chamber and the site of abnormal blood outflow, which can easily lead to infective endocarditis.
