Hello! Small ventricular septal defect is not hemodynamically disturbed and cardiac morphology usually does not cause problems. You should have regular check-ups and echocardiograms to monitor the progress of the ventricular septal defect. Depending on the clinical symptoms and echocardiographic results, the Cardiologist will advise on the appropriate treatment for you.
