[|Human|] My 5 year old daughter was admitted with severe fever and pneumonia.Later though, it wasnt confirmed, but she became better after treating for H1N1 flu.Now she has atrial standstill.P waves are absent in her ECG.Could swine flu be the reason for it?She never had any symptoms of heart disease in the past.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, swine flu has no effect on the heart. Influenza virus of swine flu mutant has effect on the lungs only. It has no pathogenic over the heart. But pathology related to lung with heart can cause the signs related to the heart. e.g. pleural effusion can compress the heart and stop the heart from pumping. You can go for chest X-ray PA view. This will guide us for exact situation. Instead, you can go for clinical examination to the nearby doctors they can guide you regarding the pathogenic. If its effusion than aspiration and treatment for the condition can cure you. As she is not having any symptoms of the heart disease in the future. There is no need to worry because it has compromised only atria which has almost no role on the pumping of the heart, and it will be corrected soon. Please make continuous note on the heart beat. If the heart brat is compromised less than immediately visit the nearby hospital as it can be severe condition. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
