Ventricular Septal Defects
Ventricular Septal Defect is a heart defect due to an abnormal connection between the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
VSD holes usually close on their own, although may need surgery or a catheter-based procedure to close the hole. Symptoms can be treated with blood pressure medicines or diuretics.
The right doctor to consult for Ventricular septal defects is a Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon.
To detect Ventricular septal defects an Echocardiogram is performed, as in this test, sound waves produce a video image of the heart.
