Hi Doctor I have undergone ASD closure surgery 2 yrs back I am 34 yrs old now. Will there be any restrictions on me for rest of my life? Before surgery I used to do lots of exercises trekking and all activities. After surgery I am lil reserved to do these. Just wanted to know if I can live a normal life for rest of my life?
Hi Sir, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern.ASD closure post operative has a very good prognosis. You can resume with your regular activities after 2-3 months. Exercise is not a contraindication but avoid trekking as altitude variations may lead to hemodynamic imbalance. Continue your present medication if any, Regular followup with an 2 dimensional Echo is mandate for every 3 months for first year followed by 6 monthly for 2 years there after annually. Consult your cardiologist for expert management. Post your further queries if any, Thank you.
