Safiya is four years old. Until recently, she was a very active and lively girl. But a few months ago, her mother began to notice that her daughter was behaving differently. She gets tired quickly, runs and jumps less, and looks sad and distant.
Such unusual behavior of Safiya worried her mother, and she took the girl to the doctor. The prescribed examinations revealed one of the congenital heart defects - an atrial septal defect.
The consequence of this defect in Safiya is an excessive load on the right chambers of the heart. Over four years, they have stretched greatly, and this has also led to a violation of the natural distribution of blood throughout the body. The damaged heart cannot cope with its tasks, the organs and systems of the body suffer from a lack of oxygen.
According to cardiologists, urgent surgery is required.
Let's help little Safiya recover and become active and cheerful again to the delight of her mom and dad, who have been waiting for her birth for many years!
