What is a heart cough?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

I recently got an ECG and 2D Echo done and the results show acyanotic congenital heart disease with severe valvular PS, mild PR, mild infundibular stenosis, significant RV hypertrophy, mild TR, and a moderately restrictive PDA with LR shunt gradient of 50 mmHg. The report also mentions RV hypertrophy, RA MPA dilation, but normal LV systolic function. Can you explain what this condition means and whether surgery is the only option to treat it? What would be the estimated cost for surgery and is there any chance of managing this with just medication? If I don't get surgery, how long can I expect to live with this condition and are there risks of a heart attack?
Consult a cardiologist with detailed Echo report (both hard copy and cd) This is a congenital malformation in your heart The definitive treatment is surgery Risk of heart attack per say because of this disease doesn't increase many fold but a potential risk of heart failure is always there Consult a cardiologist as advised earlier
