Treatment combined defeat of several valves in Birstonas

Congenital or acquired anomalies of the heart, characterized by the simultaneous damage of several valves of the heart or a combination of several anatomical defects, are called combined or complex heart defects. The most common are: mitral-aortic, mitral-tricuspid and mitral-aortic-tricuspid malformations. Perhaps a combined development in the valve and stenosis, and failure (for example, mitral stenosis and mitral insufficiency). In the case of congenital anomalies, heart defects can be combined with anomalies of the septum structure and magistral vessels of the heart. With the combined damage of several valves in the symptomatology, as a rule, the symptoms of one of the defects prevail. Less often, the symptoms are mutually enhanced or, conversely, compensated. With the help of diuretics and cardiac glycosides, heart failure is corrected, anticoagulants are prescribed for the prevention of thrombosis, beta-blockers to eliminate arrhythmias, inosine and potassium preparations accelerate the metabolism of the heart muscle. In many cases, the treatment of combined heart disease is not possible without surgery.
