Rehabilitation of a Female Patient after Corrective Surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2015, Vol 32, Issue 4
Abstract
Herein we present a 25-year-old female patient with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This congenital heart defect is not very common, but it is the most common one among cyanotic heart defects. Treatment of the patients with TF is surgical, with palliative or curative (corrective) intent. Our patient underwent palliative surgery, definitive correction, and another surgery for pulmonary valve insufficiency. During cardiovascular rehabilitation, the patient was rhythmically stable, with excellent tolerance of physical exertion. Bearing in mind that this was a young female person who previously had had two spontaneous abortions, pregnancy was not absolutely contraindicated, although spontaneous abortion and pregnancy complications were more common in these patients.
