Easily overlooked health problems

Heart disease is a health problem that must be paid attention to in the adult world, but for children, the impact of heart disease on their health and quality of life is often not paid enough attention.

Worldwide, 1.35 million babies have congenital heart disease every year. And its symptoms are very different from adults (we all know that the typical features of adult heart disease are arterial blockage and the continuous decline of heart valves with age).

Living habits can affect the heart health of adults, but most heart disease in children has nothing to do with lifestyle habits.

Congenital heart disease

The most common childhood heart disease is congenital heart disease. The main feature is abnormal heart structure at birth. On average, 1% of babies will develop this disease. Common symptoms include holes in the heart separation, malformations of the heart valves or ventricles, and twisted aorta Or blocking and so on.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia may occur at any time in one's life, but for some people, this phenomenon occurs in childhood, which will have a dangerous effect on the heart rhythm in later life.

The incidence of malignant arrhythmia characterized by sudden death is increasing year by year. Approximately 540,000 people die from sudden cardiac death each year in my country, and hereditary arrhythmia is one of the important causes of sudden cardiac death.

Myocardial disease

Myocardial disease is an abnormality of the heart muscle itself. This type of disease usually has a family history and can cause the heart muscle to thicken or weaken. Although the above-mentioned diseases mainly affect adults, abnormalities of the heart often appear in childhood.

In some cases, myocardial abnormalities can cause sudden death, and medical and psychological interventions play an important role in protecting health and maintaining quality of life.

Acquired heart disease

Heart disease can also occur during childhood development. Rheumatic heart disease often occurs due to bacterial infection (Staphylococcus A). Kawasaki disease (systemic vascular inflammation) also affects the blood circulation of the heart. Muscle damage can reduce the strength of the heart muscle or can affect the normal function of the heart (for example, myocarditis).

Although the incidence of this type of disease is declining, rheumatic heart disease is still a huge health problem in developing countries, and there are also a considerable number of vulnerable groups in developed countries that will get the disease.

Sudden deaths are not limited to people suffering from heart disease, exercisers, sedentary people, and people who stay up late. It may even happen to everyone. Especially in today's social situation and environment, the probability of sudden death is extremely high.

Where should we go?

With the deepening of the understanding of the causes of sudden death, our ability to predict the risk of sudden death is also increasing, which can further improve the survival rate and quality of life.

KBM sudden death genetic testing services and various related cardiovascular disease genetic testing (such as coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, etc.) meet your risk estimation and prevention needs.

Year after year, after ushering in this period of special significance to the Chinese people, life is still the same. It is the ordinary days of this day that make up our lives; and the quality of our life is by no means called high quality by pretending to be high-end for a few days. Every day, try to care for yourself, family and friends as much as possible. To be able to do this, you don't need to be good at everything, you are already superior.
