Hello doctor. I have an 8mm ventricular septal defect, do I need surgery right away? Is surgery dangerous? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you doctor!

Hello. Ventricular septal disease is indicated for intervention when there are hemodynamic effects (dilated heart chambers, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension...); affecting surrounding structures (aortic regurgitation) or complicating heart inflammation. The information you provided does not speak to the above issues, so it is not enough to evaluate.
With an 8mm vent like yours, it will often affect health soon. If you already have the above problems, you should intervene early. Otherwise, you should have regular medical check-ups to have timely treatment indications. Because otherwise, you will have complications such as heart failure, severe pulmonary hypertension ... you guys.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
