Treatments For Tetralogy Of Fallot

Limiting Exercise

Whether the tetralogy of Fallot has been repaired or not, if a person has once suffered from this condition, they should always consider limiting exercise. Exercise demands a lot of cooperation from the heart, and if the heart is not performing at an optimal level, you are at an increased risk for accidents and injuries. A few symptoms related to this disease involve the increased risk for fainting, tiring easily during physical activity, and shortness of breath. Also, it is common for there to be some obstruction to the pulmonary valve following surgical repair. If this is the case, individuals will need to be extremely cautious when participating in any physical activity and avoid strenuous exercise at all costs. Once the pulmonary valve is corrected and free of any leaks or damages, mild exercise is permitted.
