Special treatment is not required if there are few or no symptoms or if the defect is small and is not associated with other complications. An expert cardiologist can check how large and severe theASD is, through a range of tests such as physical examinations, echo-cardiograms, cardiac cauterizations, ECG, Doppler study of the heart or a heart MRI. Initially doctors diagnose abnormal heart sounds or murmurs using a stethoscope.
Once a patient is diagnosed with an atrial septal defect, the doctor analyzes its best corrective method. Dr. Shetty of Narayana Hrudayala, mentions that certain crucial factors such as the size and position of the hole, as well as the patient’s age and health condition, are taken into account to make the best decision. If the size of the hole is relatively small, then patients are subscribed oral medications to help it close.
On the other hand, if the size of the hole is dangerously large or if it is located in a critical spot, either surgery or catheter intervention might be required.There are a variety of small devices that can be inserted into the patient’s heart through the femoral vein to close small holes .
Although both options are harmless, the latter seems to be gaining more popularity amongst heart patients due to its quick and painless procedure and reduced patient recovery time.
