Among our doctors for your Congenital heart disease

What is congenital heart disease?

Congenital heart disease is a malformation of the heart that is present at birth. The severity of this condition can vary greatly from person to person, ranging from a benign form with no significant consequences to a severe form that requires immediate treatment.

These malformations occur when the structures of the heart (ventricles, walls, valves) do not develop properly during fetal life.

In adults, congenital heart disease can manifest itself in two main ways:

Although some congenital heart defects are diagnosed in adulthood, most are detected in childhood or even before birth through fetal ultrasound.

Types of congenital heart defects

Some of the common types of congenital heart defects include:

Common symptoms of a congenital heart defect

Are you wondering if you might be suffering from a congenital heart defect? Although some symptoms may seem harmless, it's important to consult a cardiologist in Turkey if you experience several of them.

A congenital heart defect can manifest itself in many different ways. Here are some signs that may indicate a problem:

When should you see a cardiologist in Turkey?

These symptoms are not systematically associated with a heart defect, but they do require medical evaluation if

In an emergency, contact your healthcare provider immediately if you have:

By consulting a cardiology specialist in Turkey, you'll benefit from an accurate diagnosis and treatment tailored to your situation.

Don't wait to take care of your heart. Consult a healthcare professional today.

Medication for congenital heart disease

While surgery is often necessary to correct congenital heart defects, medications play an important role in the treatment of certain conditions.

Medications can help regulate heart rhythm and improve circulation in mild heart disease. For example, calcium channel blockers are often prescribed to relax blood vessels.

It's important to note that each heart defect is unique, and drug treatments must be tailored to each patient. Some medications, while beneficial for some conditions, can make others worse.

In addition, people with congenital heart disease are more likely to develop certain heart infections, such as endocarditis, even after surgery. To prevent these complications, antibiotic prophylaxis may be recommended before certain medical procedures, including dental procedures.

Surgical treatment

Congenital heart defects, when diagnosed in adulthood, often require surgical intervention.

Catheter-based interventions

In many cases, minimally invasive techniques are preferred:

Open-heart surgery

Open-heart surgery remains essential for complex malformations or to replace heart valves.

 It can be used to:

As a last resort, heart or heart-lung transplantation is a treatment option for the most severe forms, but is reserved for patients who are in good enough health.

Turquie Santé gives you access to many renowned clinics offering high-quality treatment for congenital heart disease at competitive costs.
