Detailed explanation-1: -Ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs as the baby’s heart is developing during pregnancy. The muscular wall separating the heart into left and right sides doesn’t form fully, leaving one or more holes. The size of the hole or holes can vary. There’s often no clear cause.

Detailed explanation-2: -A ventricular septal defect happens during pregnancy if the wall that forms between the two ventricles does not fully develop, leaving a hole. A ventricular septal defect is one type of congenital heart defect. Congenital means present at birth.

Detailed explanation-3: -This part of the septum is called the ventricular septum. This hole allows blood from the left ventricle to go back into the right ventricle instead of out of the heart through the aorta. When this happens, too much blood can enter the lungs and may cause problems over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -A ventricular septal defect (VSD)-sometimes referred to as a hole in the heart-is a type of congenital heart defect. In a VSD, there is an abnormal opening in the wall between the main pumping chambers of the heart (the ventricles). VSDs are the most common congenital heart defect.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ventricular septal defects may also be described as inlet or outlet VSDs. These terms further describe where the defect is located. Inlet VSDs are located close to where the blood enters the ventricular chamber and outlet VSDs are located close to where the blood exits the ventricular chamber.
