A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the two lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. It is one of the most common congenital heart defects and may occur at birth or due to genetic/infectious conditions during pregnancy. Note: Medications are usually for symptom relief, not for closing the hole
Q: What other heart issues can occur with a VSD? A: Leaking/narrowing valves, Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and rhythm disorders. Q: How do VSDs develop? A: Incomplete formation of the ventricular wall during fetal development. Q: What causes VSD? A: Often unknown; genetics and environmental factors (infections, drugs, diabetes) may play a role
