Understanding
ASD & VSD
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) are among the most common congenital heart defects. These conditions occur when an opening remains in the wall (septum) that separates the chambers of the heart.
An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is an opening between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria), while a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is an opening between the two lower chambers (ventricles).
Small defects may cause few or no symptoms and sometimes close naturally during childhood. Larger defects can affect blood circulation, increase pressure within the heart and lungs, and potentially lead to long-term complications if left untreated.
Modern treatment options include minimally invasive catheter-based device closure and surgical repair, allowing many patients to achieve excellent long-term outcomes and improved quality of life.
Symptoms & Warning Signs
Symptoms vary depending on the size and location of the defect, age of the patient, and impact on heart function.
-
Shortness of breath during activity.
-
Easy fatigue.
-
Reduced exercise tolerance.
-
Frequent respiratory infections.
-
Heart palpitations.
-
Irregular heart rhythms.
-
Swelling of the legs in advanced cases.
-
Rapid breathing.
-
Feeding difficulties in infants.
-
Poor weight gain.
-
Frequent chest infections.
-
Excessive sweating during feeding
-
Fatigue
-
Shortness of breath.
-
Heart murmur detected during examination.
Some patients, especially those with smaller defects, may remain symptom-free for many years.
Advanced Diagnosis & Precision Cardiac Evaluation in India
Accurate diagnosis is essential for determining whether observation, catheter-based closure, or surgery is the most appropriate treatment approach.
-
Clinical Cardiology Assessment
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
-
Chest X-Ray
-
2D Echocardiography
-
Color Doppler Echocardiography
-
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
-
3D Echocardiography
-
Cardiac CT Scan
-
Cardiac MRI
-
Cardiac Catheterization when clinically indicated
-
Pulmonary Pressure Assessment
-
Comprehensive Cardiac Function Evaluation
These investigations help determine defect size, location, blood flow patterns, heart chamber enlargement, pulmonary pressures, and treatment suitability.
Types of Congenital Heart Defects We Help Patients Access Treatment For
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
An ASD allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the right atrium.
Common ASD types include:
• Secundum ASD
• Primum ASD
• Sinus Venosus ASD
• Coronary Sinus ASD
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
A VSD allows blood to pass between the left and right ventricles.
Common VSD types include:
• Perimembranous VSD
• Muscular VSD
• Inlet VSD
• Outlet (Supracristal) VSD
Multiple Septal Defects
Some patients may have multiple openings requiring specialized treatment planning.
Residual or Recurrent Defects
Occasionally, previously treated patients may require reassessment for residual shunts or associated congenital abnormalities.
