Question
What should be done in the case of a ventricular septal defect, a common congenital heart disease?
Answer
Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital heart disease caused by congenital defects leading to abnormal left-to-right shunting of blood dynamics. Over time, this can result in left ventricular dilation and decreased cardiac function. Current treatment methods include surgical repair and interventional occlusion, with the specific choice of treatment plan depending on the patient’s cardiac function, shunt volume, and defect size. It is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination as soon as possible and receive timely treatment.
