What is foramen ovale?
In general, some children born with heart defects have a hole in the heart. In fact, almost everyone was born with a hole in the heart called foramen ovale. It is a communication between the right and left atrium, which in most cases does not close before birth. It may take several months to several years to close communication, and some people remain open. This condition is called patent foramen ovale and may require medical intervention, although not always. Ductus is another communication between aortic and pulmonary valves that allows you to circulate the blood in the fetal body. Like the foramen ovale, the ductus tends to close itself, although it usually takes less time and may occur within a few hours after birth. Ductus can also remain open, causing problems that might requires its treatment. Of these two conditions, the presence of patent foramen ovale is considered to be much less danger.
Patent foramen ovale is not without risk. At first it causes the body to mix blood. Some unoxenated blood migrates back from the right atrium to the left atrium, which means that blood can have a slightly lower oxygen content. Permit foramen ovale to remain open also increases the possibility of stroke. For this purpose, many cardiologists recommend using blood thinners with this condition.
As mentioned, many people receive minimal or no treatment of patent foramen ovale, but there may be certain circumstances where the closure of the hall communication is required. First, if people undergo heart surgery for other reasons, especially to repair other congenital heart defects, it was possible to recommend closure. It is irony that it is often this defect, that the aces akes sustainable until other defects can be repaired.
Some people without other defects or heart problems will suffer from the symptoms of this condition include fatigue, fatigue or low oxygen saturation. If this dominionKY seriously disrupts life or activity, closure can be considered. This could also be considered as a possible possibility if there has been moves or if a person suffers from serious migraines.
Closing does not necessarily mean invasive heart surgery. Many times the hall communication is closed during catheterization using seals or equipment that keep it closed. The closure of an open heart could only occur if it is considered necessary or if other heart defects are repaired. Operations or closure of catotles are usually very successful, but again are not recommended for all people unless there is a deterioration in health or current health risk.
