Born with vsd
My son was born with vsd and we are consulting with pediatrics cardiologist.current stats are as below
Age: 2yr 6 months
Weight: 11.50
Height: 89.4 cm
Symptoms: asymptomatic
Report is also attached.
Doctor we are consulting is sure that we can wait and intervention is not required. But our pediatrics Dr is saying why you delaying when weight is already above 10 and at this stage it can be done. He is giving some social reason like when kid starts going school it will be difficult for him.
Since I am confused I am seeking your valuable guidance.
Please I want no of Dr's give their feedback on this query.
Thanks and regards

According to the report it is an restrictive VSD, which actually can close on its own with growth of the child. Only large VHD‘s do not close and require intervention either device or surgical closure. This VSD seems already near closing and it is a good sign that it may not require any intervention. This needs a close monitoring as advised by the paediatric cardiologist and with time this might improve.
