Absence or low individual and public risk
Discordant atrioventricular connection - what does this mean
Discordant atrioventricular connection is a congenital heart defect in which the atria and ventricles are not connected in the normal manner, resulting in a poorly functioning heart and inadequate blood flow. it is caused by abnormal development of the heart during fetal development.
What happens during the disease - discordant atrioventricular connection
Discordant atrioventricular connection is a congenital cardiac defect in which the atria and ventricles are connected abnormally, resulting in an abnormal flow of blood between the two chambers. this can result from abnormal development of the heart during embryonic development, leading to the atrioventricular valves being misaligned or malformed. this can cause a decrease in the efficiency of the heart's pumping action, leading to an increased risk of arrhythmias, heart failure, and other cardiac complications.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Review patient's medical history
- Perform physical examination
- Conduct an electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Perform an echocardiogram (ECHO)
- Conduct a cardiac catheterization
- Conduct an MRI scan
- Conduct a CT scan
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat Discordant Atrioventricular Connection
- Perform a cardiac catheterization to identify the exact anatomy of the heart.
- Administer medications to control the heart rate and rhythm.
- Perform a surgical procedure to repair the atrioventricular connection.
- Perform a transcatheter procedure to repair the atrioventricular connection.
- Implant a pacemaker or defibrillator to control the heart rate and rhythm.
- Provide long-term follow-up care to monitor the patient's condition.
19 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Discordant atrioventricular connection - Prevention
Discordant atrioventricular connection is best prevented by controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking, as well as by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. additionally, regular prenatal care can help to detect any congenital heart defects before birth.
