What are the common congenital heart disease symptoms

Congenital heart disease have the following common symptoms, but mild congenital heart disease may be no obvious symptoms. Cyanosis: cyanosis is cyanotic congenital heart disease (such as vascular dislocation tetralogy of) outstanding performance. To be continued existence after birth, can be three to four months after the birth gradually Clearly, in the lips, fingers (toe) A bed, and the most obvious nasal tip. The incubation cyanotic heart disease (such as ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus) in peacetime no bruising, but in the activities, crying, breath or suffering from pneumonia when a bruised and advanced in the right pulmonary hypertension and heart failure can be a sustained bruising. Heart murmur: Most congenital heart murmur can be heard, this loud noise comparison, rough, can be accompanied by severe chest area tremor. Heart murmur and more doctors in attendance was found. Children Yousheng part of the normal rational murmur. Physical difference: As poor cardiac function, and the insufficiency caused by hypoxia, in children with severe infant that is feeding difficulties, I suck on a few outages, shortness of breath, vomiting and large-sweating, likes and vertical hold, older children unwilling, Hei Dunju, after fatigue, paroxysmal dyspnea, hypoxia in breast-feeding often serious, crying or stool when suddenly syncope, a vulnerable heart failure. Susceptibility to respiratory infections: the majority of congenital heart disease due to increased pulmonary blood usually easily repeated with respiratory tract infections, recurrent respiratory tract infection and further lead to heart failure, the two often casual, a congenital heart disease cause of death. Poor development: congenital heart disease have more growth retardation, cyanosis, particularly obvious, serious mental retardation may also be affected. Other symptoms: Congenital heart disease if left atrial enlargement or pulmonary recurrent laryngeal nerve compression, the hoarse sound of a child, easy to shortness of breath, cough; merger other deformities, such as congenital cataract, such as Down's Syndrome and cleft lip and palate; ventricular can be increased to former District uplift heart, thoracic deformity sustained bruising may be associated with clubbing fingers, cyanosis appeared in more than 1 to 2 years after formation. If parents find that their child has the above symptoms, early treatment to the hospital, whether diagnosed with congenital heart disease, a common method of X-ray examination, ECG, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization to heart and when cardiovascular exam. Once diagnosed as congenital heart disease, cardiac surgery as soon as possible to visit, the timing of surgery by the doctors to decide, rapid development of cardiac surgery, surgical advances, the vast majority of congenital heart disease has become the disease can be completely cured.
