Mitteoperatiivsetest
Mitteoperatiivsetest, also known as a mid-ventricular septal defect, is a congenital heart defect characterized by an opening in the middle of the heart's muscular wall, known as the ventricular septum. This defect allows blood to flow from the left ventricle to the right ventricle, bypassing the lungs and leading to a condition known as Eisenmenger syndrome if left untreated. The most common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and a heart murmur. Diagnosis typically involves an echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the defect and the patient's overall health. In mild cases, no treatment may be necessary, but more severe cases may require surgical repair or medical management with medications to manage symptoms. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing the long-term effects of this condition.
