What are the sequelae of cardiac repair

summary

An old man's heart is getting worse now. There is a hole in his heart. Now he has just finished his heart repair operation and is recuperating. I would like to share with you the problem of the sequelae of the heart repair operation.

What are the sequelae of cardiac repair

Sequelae one: if it is a general defect, surgical repair can completely recover, there will be no sequelae. Postoperative regular review, to avoid inflammation, infection, effusion and other complications can be. Since the heart has been repaired, there will be inflammation in the later period, and the body will become worse.

Sequelae 2: arrhythmia after heart valve surgery. When you feel your heartbeat is irregular after heart valve surgery, go to the hospital to find out the type of arrhythmia. Atrial premature beat has little effect on cardiac function, which can be corrected by adequate rest and taking digitalis preparation. Ventricular premature beat should be controlled as soon as possible. The measures include rest, potassium supplement, lidocaine injection, slow heart rate and other drugs, but it must be carried out under the guidance of doctors.

Sequelae 3: valvular heart disease often has atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation still occurred 3 months after the operation, and defibrillation treatment could be performed in the hospital when the cardiac function recovered well. If atrial fibrillation is intractable and lasts for a long time, patients with unsuccessful or urgent defibrillation do not have to force defibrillation to avoid danger. The heart rate can be controlled by taking digitalis preparation at the same time of anticoagulant treatment, so that the heart rate will not be too fast or slow.

matters needing attention

In daily life, do things with restraint, do not overwork. After heart valve replacement, heart function will gradually improve. To maintain a good mood, do not do strenuous exercise, to eat some easy to digest food, do not eat very greasy.
