Chapter 789 Congenital Heart Disease
Pregnant women coming to the cardiology clinic?

This is still quite rare.

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, have a relatively independent system.

"Professor Lu, hello."

As soon as the woman entered the door, she called softly, and then slowly walked to Lu Chen and sat down.

These patients usually know that when they meet a doctor in such an expert clinic, they are right to call a professor.

Lu Chen didn't bother talking to these patients, and usually wouldn't refute.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Chen asked casually.

From the moment the woman entered the door, his expression was very solemn.

Zhong Hui, who was at the side, could clearly feel that Lu Chenhe was different from usual.

"Professor Lu, I've been feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath recently." The woman opened her mouth and rolled up her trouser legs, "Look, my legs are still swollen. At first I thought it was a pregnancy reaction, but the symptoms became more and more obvious , In the end, I couldn’t lie down and sleep.”

Lu Chen frowned.

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

If a middle-aged elderly person mentioned these symptoms, the first reaction of any doctor would be heart failure!

However, the woman in front of her is a pregnant woman under the age of 30!

Heart failure requires the basis of heart failure diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular disease, etc.

And 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 abnormal anatomy caused by the formation disorder or abnormal development of the heart and great blood vessels during the embryonic development period.

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

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

"Did you have any diseases before? For example, congenital heart disease?" Lu Chen asked about the medical history and gave the patient a physical examination.

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

"Really?" Lu Chen's eyes froze.

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

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

This reminder undoubtedly proved that Lu Chen's guess and diagnosis were correct.

"No!" The woman still shook her head, "If so, why didn't I have any symptoms before?"

"Some congenital heart diseases are like this." Lu Chen explained, "Symptoms will not become obvious until a certain age, or when the physical load increases. Your current symptoms are very obvious, it is a symptom of heart failure, And the symptoms are getting worse!"

"The danger is high!"

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

This kind of extremely low life value, and also encountered "congenital heart disease", that is really tricky!
The woman turned pale when she heard Lu Chen's words, "Professor Lu, really...really?"

It doesn't matter if she is sick alone!

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

If something goes wrong with her, the child in her stomach will probably be difficult to keep!
Lu Chen nodded slowly, "Call, let your family members come here now, you may need to complete some inspections, and even be admitted to the hospital for inspection and treatment!"

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

"You can't!" Lu Chen's tone was stronger, "This is responsible for your safety and your children, so notify your immediate family members to come to the scene."

The woman frowned slightly, she just wanted to see a doctor.

During pregnancy, many tests and medicines cannot be used casually, otherwise it may affect the fetus.

At this time, Lu Chen also said to Zhong Hui who was on the side: "Xiao Zhong, go and inform the outpatient nurses that there is a high-risk patient in the clinic and ask them to arrange a wheelchair to come over."

"it is good."

Zhong Hui doesn't care whether Lu Chen's words are right or wrong, she will strictly implement them.

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

Seeing Lu Chen go to war like this, the woman also got a little nervous, and she started to take out her mobile phone to make calls.

"It's best to call your parents and ask, did you have a heart attack when you were young!" Lu Chen reminded.

The woman didn't answer, but walked out of the consulting room and came to the corridor, ready 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.

He has 29 more patients to see next!
Outside the clinic.

Zhong Hui didn't dare to distract herself for a moment, and stared at the pregnant woman closely.

She dared not make any mistakes in what Director Lu explained.

Once a pregnant woman has any discomfort, she must report it at any time and transfer it to the emergency department immediately.

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

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

"Mom, are you busy?" The woman still couldn't open her first sentence.

"I'm shopping for vegetables in the supermarket. What do you want for lunch?" A laugh came from the opposite side immediately, "I've made it and I'll send it to you."

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

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

The woman took a deep breath, and once again thought of what Lu Chen said just now, she asked in a low voice: "Mom, when I was young... I had a heart problem, Mom?"

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

"mom?"

The woman's heart tightened. Judging from the reaction on the other end of the phone, did Professor Lu Chen really guess 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 phone, "Lili, if you don't mention this, your dad and I really forgot."

"Mom, do I really have... a heart attack?" The woman's face was filled with disbelief.

The voice on the other side of the phone continued, "When you were very young, you went to the hospital for an examination. The hospital said you had a congenital heart disease, and the doctor suggested surgery. But the conditions at home were not good at that time, and you were always in poor health. Well, there is nothing uncomfortable, so the operation has not been done, and we don't care."

The woman held the phone with a dumbfounded expression.

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

If it wasn't for this problem, it is estimated that it would be difficult to find this kind of congenital heart disease.

And for the birth test.

If the pregnant woman has no underlying heart disease, and there are no related symptoms and manifestations of chest tightness and shortness of breath, echocardiography is not a routine examination.

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

However, after pregnancy, the burden on various organs of the mother becomes heavier, which can easily induce heart disease that was originally asymptomatic.
