Answer
Hello, Ms. You should advise your friend to take her for regular echocardiography to re-evaluate the ventricular septal defect as well as the hemodynamics of the heart, from which the doctors will give specific advice to your family. The family can take the child to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for further advice from the doctor.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec. Looking forward to meeting you and your friends for more specific advice.
