Ventricular septal defects without symptoms generally advocate observation and follow-up, and may not need special treatment for the time being.
Ventricular septal defect is an abnormal interventricular traffic caused by incomplete development of the interventricular septum in the fetal period. Generally, small defects and small shunt flow may have no obvious symptoms, while large shunt flow may cause recurrent respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, feeding difficulties and developmental delay after birth, and later on, it may cause poor activity tolerance, palpitation, shortness of breath, cyanosis and right heart failure.
For asymptomatic small ventricular septal defects, no special treatment can be taken for the time being. About half of the small ventricular septal defects can be closed naturally before the age of 3 years, and once echocardiography, X-ray, electrocardiogram, and other tests indicate cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion in the course of the follow-up, surgical treatments such as interventional occlusion or transthoracic occlusion can be actively performed.
Ventricular septal defects without symptoms should also go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
