Ventricular Septal Defect Treatment

A Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). This congenital heart defect allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, causing increased blood flow to the lungs and potentially leading to heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and poor growth in children if left untreated.
