i am 26 years old.upto this age i feel normal, good sleep at night hours. I undergone Medical test to go to abroad. They take X-ray & suggest to carry out Ecocardiography test. Once seeing the report by Doctor and told that you are having hole in your heart ,you are not Medically fit.The report impressions are as follows
1.RA/RV dilated
2.ostium secondrum ASP
3.Left to right Shunt 20mm
4.No clot,No vegetation
5.Hypotension
The doctor advised me to undergone Heart surgery.Here with I want to clarify that ,after carrying out surgery whether I will be Fit or not.
Hi, Ostium secundum is a congenital anomaly, which is relatively benign. There are two types of correction, one is opent heart surgery and the second is invasive approach via vessels. The choice depends on size and localization of defect. After surgery everything will be OK with you, and there is a great possibility that diameters of dilated RA/RV will deacrease. So don't worry the surgery in your case is the optimal choice and usually has very favourable outcomes.
Wish you good health. If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and from the history given here I could say that as long as the ostium secondum is concern the surgery is the best option is there and this gives excellent result and after the surgery you will be fit medically and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
