Скачать или смотреть Heart Defects in Kids: Signs Parents Must Not Ignore | Apollo Hospitals Delhi

Holes in the heart (Septal Defects) are among the most common congenital heart problems in children.

Dr. Gaurav Kumar (Senior Consultant – Paediatric Cardiac Surgery) explains that these defects occur either in the upper chamber (Atrial Septal Defect) or the lower chamber (Ventricular Septal Defect).

ASD: Small holes can be closed using minimally invasive device procedures, while larger ones require open-heart surgery at the age of 3–5 years.
VSD: A more serious condition, often requiring surgery within the first year of life to prevent lasting damage to the lungs.

Children with septal defects may show symptoms such as rapid breathing, poor weight gain, frequent lung infections, or difficulty feeding. With timely diagnosis and advanced surgical care at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi, most children recover quickly and go on to lead healthy, active lives.
