How to Treat Atrial Septal Aneurysm and the Associated Risks?

If the atrial septal aneurysm is severe, surgical treatment is required as it may induce arrhythmia and thrombosis. The atrial septal aneurysm does not have any obvious symptoms, so patients do not need to worry excessively. Mild cases do not require treatment, but if symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations are severe, surgery may be necessary. However, the atrial septum is prone to swinging, which may induce arrhythmia and thrombosis, so it is important to be aware of symptoms.

1. Atrial septal aneurysm is generally caused by abnormal atrial septal structure or occurs after repair of defects, which may be related to environmental, physicochemical, and congenital factors.

2. Patients usually do not have obvious clinical symptoms. After excessive exercise or fatigue, they may experience symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, and shortness of breath. Mild cases do not require treatment.

3. If complications occur, active symptomatic treatment should be administered.

4. If patients experience severe clinical symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations, surgery may be required. There is no specific medication for treating this condition.

1. An atrial septal aneurysm is a local weakness or protrusion of the atrial septum, which is generally prone to atrial septal defects but does not pose a life-threatening risk by itself.

2. However, this part of the atrial septum is prone to swinging, which can induce arrhythmia.

3. Additionally, some patients may develop thrombosis within the atrial septal aneurysm, leading to systemic embolism. Aspirin can be prescribed for prevention.

4. If atrial septal defects occur, treatment should be administered.
