Is it possible for a 25-year-old female who just had surgery for a 35mm ASD heart issue to live a normal life afterward, or are there likely to be any complications?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After 35mm ASD heart surgery, it is possible to have a normal life with proper care and follow-up. However, there may be some complications that can arise post-surgery, such as infection, bleeding, arrhythmias, or fluid accumulation around the heart. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for medications and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery progress. As for medications, you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection, blood thinners to prevent clot formation, and pain medication as needed. Additionally, you may need to take medications to manage any underlying heart conditions. It is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to support your recovery and overall heart health.

A 25-year-old female who has undergone surgery for a 35mm Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) can generally expect to live a normal, healthy life. Here are the key points to understand:
-
Successful Surgery Outcomes:
Surgical repair of ASD, especially at this size, is typically very effective. Most patients experience significant improvement in heart function and symptoms. -
Post-Surgery Recovery:
After surgery, a period of recovery and follow-up is important. This includes regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor heart health. -
Potential Complications:
While complications are uncommon, they can include arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), residual shunts, or rarely, issues related to the heart valves. Your cardiologist will guide monitoring and management. -
Lifestyle and Activity:
Most patients can return to normal activities, including exercise and pregnancy, with appropriate medical advice. -
Long-Term Outlook:
With proper care, the long-term outlook is excellent, and many lead full, active lives without restrictions.
If you have specific concerns or symptoms, discussing them with your cardiologist will provide personalized guidance and reassurance.

I've been feeling really off lately, like yesterday before lunch I was sweating a lot and my whole body felt weak, especially my legs. I tried eating some chocolate and rice but I was still sweating. So I went to the hospital and they said my BP was fine, and my GRBS was 153, about 45 minutes after eating. The ECG said sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and short PR interval, but the doctors said everything's normal when they compared it to an old ECG I had. I'm worried because I take Esomac for gastric issues and Cardace for BP, but I've been having mild chest pains almost every day. Ive done tmt echo tests many times and they always come back normal, but Im so anxious about my heart all the time. Now, I get really tired just walking for like 20 minutes. What could be going on?
The ECG from yesterday shows sinus tachycardia, borderline ECG, and a short PR interval. Given your symptoms of sweating, weakness, and fatigue, along with your history of mild chest pain and anxiety about your heart, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. Since your previous ECGs have been normal, it is reassuring that there are no significant changes at this time. Considering your current medications, Esomac 40mg for gastric issues and Cardace H5 for blood pressure, it is essential to continue taking them as prescribed. To address your concerns about tiredness and anxiety, I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medications or exploring other treatment options. In addition, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise within your limits, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques. If you experience any worsening symptoms or new concerns, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction. The terms like "Grade mitral regurgitation" and "moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension" caught my attention. Can you help me understand what all this means? Also, what should we be doing next to manage or improve his heart health?
That seems to your father is at risk of serious cardiac disease with this report no need to worry its conservative management,follow cardiologist advice and reduce physical activity.
