NON-SURGICAL
With technological advancement in medicine, an increasing number of congenital heart diseases can be treated non-surgically in the cardiovascular laboratory using small tubes called “catheters” which are inserted via the groin. This includes the treatment of narrowed valves or vessels and closure of some types of holes in the heart and unwanted vessels.
MEDICAL TREATMENT
In some cases of congestive heart failure and irregular heart rhythm, surgery may not be needed. Many medical treatments are available to help the heart work properly.

Normal body temperature ranges between 36 and 37 degree C. Body temperature that exceeds 37.7 degree C suggest a fever. However, temperatures level elevation does not necessarily be an accurate sign of illness. Fever is not a disease but is a sign of disease. Beside disease, child body temperature varies with time and his activities. For example, a child body temperature may exceed 38 degree C after he played football.

“Please help me teacher. I am feeling like going to die. Lately I cannot learn, could not sleep. Life is meaningless!” That is how the sigh and complaint from a pupil or student to her teacher.
To those whose professions are teacher, counselor, lecturer, psychologist or social worker, they are sure to have ever received the same complain. In most of the cases, the students are actually facing a depression problem (sadness). The condition is quite usual especially once when students face examinations. Let alone with the high hope from their parents.
