Pinhole Device Closures for Hole in Heart

Congenital heart disease is a condition where a child is born with a hole in the heart; this is also called an atrial septal defect (ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD), which represents an opening somewhere in the septum of the heart, the wall that divides the heart’s chambers. This condition enables aeration of oxygen poor blood by a rich oxygen supply hence may result in the following complications. Pinhole device closure is an endovascular approach in closing these fistulas, which are avoiding such abnormal circulation and thereby improving normal heart function. This technique is sometimes called Robic and is preferred to the normal open heart surgery because it is less invasive resulting in faster healing.

Pump murmurs are other signs of a hole in the heart and these may depend on the size of the hole and its location. Common symptoms may include:
Breathlessness, specially during activities like walking, climbing the stairs etc.
Tiredness which can be defined as the exhaustion which occurs when one finds it hard to undertake daily tasks or carries out activities.
Palpitations or arrhythmia or having an irregular heartbeat.
Oedema – especially spread across the legs, feet or abdomen.
Pneumonia; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; recurrent respiratory infections, such as the flu; bronchitis.
Stunted development in young ones that is lack of proportional increase in physical size or mass in infants and children.
Sometimes, depending on the extent of the damage, which is usually in small localization, the disease can be asymptomatic and the presence of the process is revealed only during a medical examination.

Medical check-ups are important in ensuring that an individual is healthy or at least the health situation is diagnosed early in case of an illness.

Symptoms Collapse Symptoms

Dyspnea that will not go away or for which there is no known cause.
Chronic fatigue or weakness.
Moderate to severe oedema of the lower limbs or the abdomen.
Infrequent disorders that do not subside with medications and antibiotics.
Some of the sign and symptoms of heart failure are severe fatigue, build up of fluid, fainting or something like that.
This is because failure to fix a heart defect causes other diseases such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension or even a stroke.

When to Go for a Medical Check-up Collapse When to Go for a Medical Check-up

Hole in the heart can be of congenital type which is present at the birth or can develop later in life due to some causes. Common causes include:

Congenital Defects: These are the most common ones; they occur when the heart’s septum fails to develop as it should when the fetus is inside the mother.
Genetic Factors: Certain genetic disorders or abnormal genes will put one at a higher chance of the development of hole in heart.
Acquired Conditions: Other causes of heart defects are also found to develop in some rare circumstances such as after a heart attack, when tissue gets damaged or during certain heart surgery.

The diagnosis of a hole in the heart typically involves the following steps:The diagnosis of a hole in the heart typically involves the following steps:

Physical Examination: After an examination, a doctor may hear a heart murmur which may be an indication of septal defect.
Echocardiogram: This is an imaging test that produces pictures of the heart using sound waves; from the resulting picture the doctor can determine where the hole is and how big it is.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test maps the electrical impulses of the heart and may assist in identifying the abnormal heart rhythms that may be related to septal deficiencies.
Chest X-ray: This can demonstrate an enlarged heart or indications of hyperdynamic circulation-a condition characterised by excessive blood circulation in the lungs.
Cardiac MRI or CT Scan: Such imaging helps to produce pictures of the heart that enable the treatment plan to be developed.
