How is acyanotic heart disease treated?

Acyanotic heart disease sometimes corrects itself during childhood. Other times, the heart defect remains into adulthood but doesn’t require treatment. But if the defect eventually causes symptoms, you may require treatment including:

  • Catheter procedure to place a plug into the defect.
  • Medications to help the heart work more efficiently or to control blood pressure.
  • Surgery to close the defect.
