What Does This 2D Echo Impression Of Heart Indicate?
Question: 2d echo impression of a heart is large os asd, L to R shunt, mild mr,mild tr,mild pah
Brief Answer:
Follow up / Closure
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is a defect from birth
It is an abnormal communication between the two upper chambers of the heart.
It can be closed now – when the pulmonary Artery Hypertension (PAH) is mild.
It can only increase with time and if high, the condition will become inoperable.
Closure prevents further increase of pulmonary pressure.
It also prevents paradoxical embolism – clots from systemic veins displaced to systemic arteries – example… from leg going to brain
Take care
Good luck
