Chapter 785 Congenital Heart Disease

A pregnant woman comes to the cardiology clinic?

This is quite rare.

Obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, all have relatively independent systems.

"Hello, Professor Lu."

The woman just walked in and called softly, then slowly walked to Lu Chen and sat down.

These patients usually know that when they meet a doctor in this kind of expert clinic, it is right to call him professor.

Lu Chen was too lazy to talk to these patients and usually did not refute.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lu Chen said.

From the moment the woman walked in, his expression was very solemn.

Zhong Hui, who was standing by, could clearly feel that Lu Chen was different from usual.

"Professor Lu, I have been feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath recently." The woman said, and then rolled up her trouser legs, "Look, my legs are swollen. At first I thought it was a pregnancy reaction, but the symptoms became more and more obvious, and finally I couldn't sleep lying flat."

Lu Chen frowned.

Chest tightness, shortness of breath, edema of both lower limbs, and paroxysmal dyspnea at night.

If a middle-aged or elderly person says these symptoms, any doctor's first reaction is heart failure!

However, the woman in front of him is a pregnant woman under 30 years old!

Heart failure requires a disease basis for heart failure, such as coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular disease, etc.

Such young people usually do not have the above diseases, except for one other situation, that is, congenital heart disease!

Congenital heart disease refers to the anatomical abnormality caused by the formation disorder or developmental abnormality of the heart and large blood vessels during the embryonic development period.

Or after birth, the channel that should be closed automatically fails to close and persists (normal in the fetus).

Congenital heart disease exists after birth, or it can be said that it exists in the fetal period.

"Have you had any diseases before? For example, congenital heart disease?" Lu Chen asked about the medical history while giving the patient a physical examination.

"Heart disease?" The woman frowned slightly, "No, before this week, I never felt uncomfortable in my heart?! And I have never heard my parents say that I have heart disease!"

"Really not?" Lu Chen's eyes condensed.

Because when he thought of the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, the system had already popped up a prompt.

"Congratulations, the system upgrade completion rate has increased!"

This prompt undoubtedly proved that Lu Chen's guess was correct.

"Really not!" The woman still shook her head, "If there was, why didn't I have any symptoms before?"

"Some congenital heart diseases are like this." Lu Chen explained, "When you reach a certain age or when the body load increases, the symptoms will begin to become obvious. Your current symptoms are very obvious, which is a symptom of heart failure, and the symptoms are gradually getting worse!"

"It's very dangerous!"

Lu Chen took back the stethoscope and stared at the woman in front of him.

This extremely low life value, and also encountered "congenital heart disease", it's really tricky!

When the woman heard Lu Chen's words, her face was a little pale, "Professor Lu, really...really?"

If she was the only one who was sick, it wouldn't matter!

But now, there is still a little life in her belly.

If she has any problems, the baby in her belly will probably be difficult to save!

Lu Chen nodded slowly, "Call and notify your family members to come over now. You may need to complete some examinations next, or even be admitted to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment!"

"This..." The woman was stunned, "I can do it alone."

"You can't!" Lu Chen's tone was tougher, "This is responsible for your safety and your child. Notify your immediate family members to the scene."

The woman frowned slightly. She just wanted to see the doctor.

During pregnancy, many examinations and drugs cannot be used casually, otherwise they may affect the fetus.

At this time, Lu Chen also said to Zhong Hui on the side: "Xiao Zhong, you go and notify the outpatient nurse now. There is a high-risk patient in the clinic. Ask them to arrange a wheelchair."

"Okay."

Zhong Hui will strictly follow Lu Chen's words regardless of whether he is right or wrong.

She immediately ran to the clinic and began to explain the situation to the outpatient nurse.

Seeing Lu Chen making such a fuss, the woman was a little nervous. She began to take out her mobile phone to make a call.

"It's best to call your parents and ask them if you had heart disease when you were a child!" Lu Chen reminded her.

The woman did not reply, but walked out of the clinic, came to the corridor, and prepared to make a call.

After Zhong Hui came back, Lu Chen arranged for her to accompany the pregnant woman outside the clinic.

...

Lu Chen was not interrupted by the pregnant woman in the clinic.

He had 29 more patients to see next!

Outside the clinic.

Zhong Hui did not dare to be distracted for a moment, staring at the pregnant woman closely.

She dared not make any mistakes in what Director Lu had told her.

Once the pregnant woman felt any discomfort, she should report it at any time and be transferred to the emergency department immediately.

At this time, the pregnant woman had taken out her mobile phone.

Thinking of what Lu Chen had just said, she still called her mother.

"Mom, are you busy?" The woman's first sentence was still a little difficult to open.

"Buying vegetables in the supermarket, what do you want to eat for lunch?" A laugh came from the other side immediately, "I'm ready, I'll send it to you."

"Mom..." The woman paced back and forth in the corridor, her words full of hesitation, "I... I'm in the hospital now."

"Hospital? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" The voice on the other end was very anxious, "Why didn't you tell me? Where are you now? I'll come to see you right away!"

The woman took a deep breath and thought of Lu Chen's words again. She whispered: "Mom, when I was a child... I had a heart problem, mom?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"Mom?"

The woman's heart tightened. Judging from the reaction on the other end of the phone, could this Professor Lu Chen really guess it right?

"Mom, say something!"

There was a hint of pleading in the woman's voice.

At this time, a very lonely voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Lili, if you didn't mention this, your dad and I would have forgotten it."

"Mom, do I really have... heart disease?" The woman's face was full of disbelief. UＵRead ｗｗ． uukanshu.net

The voice on the other end of the phone continued, "When you were very young, you went to the hospital for a checkup. The hospital said you had congenital heart disease and the doctor recommended surgery. But at that time, the family conditions were not good, and you were always in good health without any discomfort, so you never had surgery and we didn't care."

The woman held the phone, her expression stunned.

It was the first time she heard from her mother that she had congenital heart disease.

If it hadn't been for this problem, it would have been difficult to discover this congenital heart disease.

And for prenatal checkups.

If the pregnant woman does not have underlying heart disease, and does not have some related symptoms and manifestations of chest tightness and shortness of breath, cardiac color Doppler ultrasound is not a routine examination.

In this way, congenital heart disease is even more difficult to detect.

But after pregnancy, the burden on various organs of the mother becomes heavier, which can easily induce heart disease that originally had no symptoms. 　　16377/10534678
