Is Your Child at Risk of a Heart Defect?

What is a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)?

VSD is a congenital heart defect where there is a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart's two lower chambers, affecting blood flow.

Symptoms of VSD in Children

Symptoms can include fatigue, rapid breathing, and poor growth, though some babies may show no symptoms at all.

Causes of Ventricular Septal Defect

VSD can occur due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or maternal health conditions during pregnancy.

How VSD Affects the Heart

Blood may flow abnormally through the hole, causing the heart to work harder and potentially leading to complications like heart failure.

Treatment Options for VSD

Treatment may include medications, monitoring, or surgery to repair the defect, depending on the size and severity of the hole.
