A patient presented at Max Hospital Dwarka with symptoms of persistent fatigue, breathlessness during routine activities, and occasional palpitations. The symptoms had gradually progressed, impacting daily activities and overall well-being.
After a comprehensive cardiac evaluation by Dr. Ashish Agarwal and team, diagnostic investigations revealed an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a congenital heart condition involving an abnormal opening between the upper chambers of the heart.
The patient underwent detailed cardiac investigations, including:
The reports confirmed a significant secundum ASD with left-to-right shunting, leading to enlargement of the right side of the heart. Based on the defect’s size and anatomical suitability, minimally invasive ASD device closure was recommended.
The procedure was completed smoothly, and the patient remained stable throughout the intervention.
The patient experienced significant improvement following the procedure. Symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue reduced considerably, and follow-up echocardiography confirmed successful closure of the defect without any residual leak.
With expertise in structural heart interventions and access to advanced cardiac technology, Dr. Ashish Agarwal continues to deliver successful outcomes in minimally invasive cardiac procedures, helping patients achieve better heart health and improved quality of life.
