Congenital malformations of cardiac septa - what does this mean

Congenital malformations of cardiac septa occur when the walls that separate the heart chambers fail to form properly during fetal development. this can lead to the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, resulting in a variety of cardiac conditions such as atrial and ventricular septal defects.

What happens during the disease - congenital malformations of cardiac septa

Congenital malformations of cardiac septa are caused by genetic and environmental factors that affect the formation of the heart during early fetal development. abnormalities in the development of the cardiac septa can lead to a variety of congenital heart defects, including atrial and ventricular septal defects, atrioventricular canal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. these defects can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can lead to further complications such as arrhythmias, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Clinical history review
  • Physical examination
  • Echocardiogram
  • Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Cardiac Catheterization
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • X-ray
  • Blood tests

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To repair or replace the cardiac septa to restore normal heart function.
  • Perform a medical examination to identify any existing congenital malformations of the cardiac septa.
  • Conduct imaging tests, such as echocardiogram, to diagnose the condition.
  • Undergo surgery to repair or replace the cardiac septa.
  • Follow up with regular check-ups to monitor the progress of the treatment.
  • Take medications to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
  • Receive lifestyle advice to help manage the condition.
  • Receive psychological support to cope with the diagnosis.

Congenital malformations of cardiac septa - Prevention

The best way to prevent congenital malformations of cardiac septa is through prenatal care. this includes regular ultrasounds and genetic screenings to detect any potential defects early on in the pregnancy. additionally, women should take a multivitamin with folic acid to reduce the risk of birth defects.
