In the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, the cardiologist was formerly concerned with distinguishing the operable from the inoperable cases. With the development of "open" heart operations under hypothermia and extracorporeal circulation, the majority of congenital heart lesions have become correctable. It is now necessary to make an exact anatomic diagnosis preoperatively. The present discussion reviews the diagnostic methods employed by the cardiac team in investigating a patient with congenital heart disease.
在先天性心脏病的诊断中,心脏病专家以前关注的是区分可手术治疗和不可手术治疗的病例。随着低温和体外循环下“心脏直视”手术的发展,大多数先天性心脏病变已变得可以矫正。现在术前进行精确的解剖学诊断很有必要。本文讨论回顾了心脏团队在对先天性心脏病患者进行检查时所采用的诊断方法。
