Hello doctor! My baby is 29 weeks old, went to ultrasound, the doctor said that there is a ventricular septal defect about 4mm. I hope the doctor advises that a 29-week-old child with a ventricular septal defect of about 4mm is dangerous? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Answer
To the question: "Is it dangerous for a 29-week-old baby to have a ventricular septal defect of about 4mm?" Your doctor would like to advise as follows:
Ventricular septal defect in children is a common congenital heart disease, not a disease too complicated to treat. It is important to choose the appropriate method and timing of treatment.
Where the baby's vent is not so big. If the child has no signs of heart failure (difficulty breathing, tachycardia, fussiness, stopped feeding ...) and still develops, it can be delayed and followed up.
Ideally, you should take it to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide so that congenital heart doctors can monitor your health and have the best treatment. .
