The biggest difference between children with pectus excavatum and normal children lies in the middle chest bone structure sinking backwards and inward toward the spine, creating a deformity where the front chest and the back compress each other. Naturally, this completely compresses the normal position of the heart and lungs. Therefore, the heart of such children is compressed and deformed, pushing the entire heart to one side. We have encountered clinically cases where there are just a few millimeters of space between the sternum and the spine, leaving no room for the heart, thus completely compressing and pushing it to the left side. Imagine a heart, completely compressed and deformed, where the valves inside cannot function normally. Hence, some children may exhibit insufficiencies in their tricuspid and mitral valves. Therefore, in children with pectus excavatum, their heart is under pressure, their valves deformed, leading to poor cardiac function, and their lung function is also compromised. Since the lungs also need space to expand, lungs that are completely compressed cannot fully relax, resulting in such children having poor cardiac and lung functions, reduced exercise endurance, and since the lungs cannot fully expand, such children are prone to catching colds. Thus, for children with pectus excavatum, it is important to avoid catching colds. Moreover, treating the root cause of the condition, which is pectus excavatum itself, is crucial. Therefore, correcting pectus excavatum early on is essential.
