Hello,
With the question “Treatment of ventricular septal defect in children? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The doctor who examined your baby just performed a clinical examination through auscultation or may not be a specialist. To determine the correct diagnosis, you need to take your baby to the hospital to be consulted by a cardiologist. Maybe your baby will need an echocardiogram to confirm the diagnosis of ventricular septal defect, what degree of septal defect, how the flow,...
This is a congenital heart disease, the baby may or may not have seen it. uncomfortable symptoms, but at the age of the baby needs to be identified early and if surgery is indicated, the disease will be completely cured, unless the ventricular septal defect combines with other heart damage that will complicate the treatment.
If you still have questions about ventricular septal defect, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
