Does ASD Closure Post Surgery Have Any Restrictions?

Hi Doctor I have undergone ASD closure surgery 2 yrs back I am 34 yrs old now. Will there be any restrictions on me for rest of my life? Before surgery I used to do lots of exercises trekking and all activities. After surgery I am lil reserved to do these. Just wanted to know if I can live a normal life for rest of my life?

Hi Sir,

Welcome to HCM,

I understand your concern.

ASD closure post operatively has a very good prognosis.

You can resume with your regular activities after 2-3 months.

Exercise is not a contraindication but avoid trekking as altitude variations may lead to hemodynamic imbalance.

Continue your present medication if any,

Regular followup with an 2 dimensional Echo is mandate for every 3 months for first year followed by 6 monthly for 2 years there after annually.

Consult your cardiologist for expert management.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
