A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital (present at birth) heart defect. You may have heard it called a “hole in the heart.” The hole is in the wall between the heart’s lower chambers (ventricles) and it causes the heart to work harder than usual. With early diagnosis and advanced treatment, we can do a lot to protect your child’s heart now, and in the future.
