What are the different types of heart defects?

heart defects remain some of the most common congenital defects. Not all are expressed directly at birth and some are so mild that they do not need treatment immediately, or they can recover themselves and never require treatment. Others are serious and need an emergency intervention, but with this intervention many children are able to live normal and healthy life and have an excellent life expectancy. These would be defects of heart valves, septum, inner valves of the heart or chamber. Other types of heart defects combine several defects at the same time, or have to do with the way they have created heartbry loops during creation. Sometimes the valves are transposed (transposition of large arteries or TGA) D Immediately requires repair after the child's birth. Children with this condition are often cyanotic (blue) and die shortly after birth if they do not receive surgical repair. Other times, one or both arteries are narrowed (stenotic) that can prevent proper blood flow from the heart. This can cause further pressure in the heart and heartLooking. The narrowing can be mild or very serious and sometimes the valve is almost completely absent or closed (atresia).

SEPTA defects relate to the wall problems that separate the right and left ventricles. Septum has often been fully closed, which can lead to small holes and communication between the right and left side. When these holes are present in the lower two chambers, the defects of the ventricular septum (VSD) are called and when they are present in the first two chambers, they are called atrial septalvads (ASD). The holes can be so small that there may be very little blood leaks between the atrium or the chamber, but may also be large or multiple, and require repair to close the communication/s.

Sometimes the valves in the heart that separate the lower and upper houses are not properly formed. Conditions such as tricuspid atresia may require immediate medical attention. Some people have minor defects in their mitral valve (left side),they do not notice it until they are in their teens or older. Surgical repair may be required to treat the mitral valve later.

There may also be heart defects in the chambers, and this may be some of the more demanding conditions for treatment. These important pumping chambers may be too small or hypoplastic, which requires several operations to alleviate this condition. It is also possible to have a mixed group of defects that may require significant intervention. It is not at all impossible for the child to be born with a ntricular septum, a hypoplastic chamber and a stenotic valve or a valve transposition.

Some defects are very unusual and cause the heart not to be a skid in forming a skid. In dextrocardy, the heart is on the right side of the chest and in the form of mirror images, all organs are a mirror of the average human body. Under certain conditions of dextrocardy represents the absence of spleen or more spleen and the heart may have in addition to the loop incorrectlyborn anomalies.

It is useful to realize that despite the severity of defects that may exist in the heart, there are amazing specialists who can treat these conditions, and surgery plus Outlook is still improving for these congenital heart defects. Many conditions that were once considered irreparable is now regularly repaired and the most aggressive potential repair of a very damaged heart, transplantation, is still improving the level of survival.
