Heart defect Complex-Combined

Heart disease of the complex-combined type refers to a combined pathology of the cardiovascular system, requiring an integrated approach to treatment. This means that for successful treatment, the patient needs to undergo therapy for several diseases at once. Such pathologies may be stenosis/aortic valve of the pulmonary artery and insufficiency of other heart valves. In addition, Ladd syndrome also includes various diseases of the upper respiratory tract and respiratory muscles. They increase the chances of pneumonia with subsequent hospitalization in the intensive care unit due to the development of cardiovascular complications.

Heart disease of a complex combined type most often occurs in patients between 20 and 40 years of age. The strong position of the valve leaflets also leads to resistance in the upper respiratory tract, and cyanotic bullae appear in the lower pharyngeal structures, which can damage the carotid artery. Therefore, if you suspect this defect, you must consult a doctor in a timely manner and take measures to correct it.

Heart disease of the complex-combined type is a combined heart disease in which there is a disruption in the functioning of one or more heart valves, which leads to insufficiency of cardiac blood flow. In this case, narrowing of one or more channels or openings of the heart may also occur. This type of heart defect can be quite complex and requires complex treatment.

One of the most common defects is combined mitral valve, when the deficiency of two valves in the heart causes a narrowing of the interventricular septum. This condition can lead to serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmia and hypertension. Treatment for this defect involves surgical correction to eliminate symptoms and prevent the development of complications.

When determining the type of defect, the doctor takes into account the results of ultrasound, echocardiography and other heart studies. The sooner the disease is identified and treatment is started, the greater the chances of successfully overcoming its negative consequences.
