Abstract(s)
A comunicação interauricular (CIA) representa 15-
35% das cardiopatias congénitas. Esta patologia
pode provocar sintomas a nível pulmonar como
dispneia, infeção pulmonar e intolerância ao esforço,
e ainda problemas a nível cardíaco como arritmias
cardíacas, nomeadamente, flutter e fibrilhação
auricular. A não correção deste tipo de patologia
pode piorar a qualidade de vida do doente, podendo
mesmo causar a morte do indivíduo.
O caso clínico apresentado de seguida, é de uma
paciente do género feminino com 50 anos de idade
com o diagnóstico de comunicação interauricular
desde a idade pediátrica. É seguida, há vários anos
pela equipa de cardiologia pediátrica, que chega à
conclusão de que a intervenção cirúrgica é inevitável
e inadiável. Nestes casos, o ecocardiograma
transesofágico, é o principal exame para o
diagnóstico e controlo desta patologia, o que foi
realizado ao longo de todos os anos precedentes.
Este exame revelou ainda uma insuficiência aórtica
ligeira e uma dilatação das cavidades direitas.
A doente foi então submetida a uma intervenção
cirúrgica para correção da CIA, de modo a melhorar
a capacidade funcional e a função cardíaca e evitar
complicações e deterioração da sua qualidade de
vida.
ABSTRACT Interauricular communication represents 15-35% of congenital heart diseases. This pathology can cause pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, lung infection and stress intolerance, as well as heart problems such as cardiac arrhythmias such as flutter and atrial fibrillation. This communication if not corrected can worsen the quality of life and may even cause the death of the individual. The clinical case presented below is of a 50-yearold female patient diagnosed with interauricular communication. This patient has been followed for many years by the pediatric cardiology team, concluding that surgical intervention is inevitable, and that it was at the right time. In these cases, transesophageal echocardiogram is the main test for the diagnosis and control of this pathology. Throughout all previous years, this examination further revealed a slight aortic insufficiency and dilation of the right cavities. Thus, the patient was then submitted to a surgical intervention to correct the ASD, to improve functional capacity and cardiac function and avoid future complications, since symptoms begin to appear around these ages.
