Let's talk about VSD! 🩺❤️ VSD stands for Ventricular Septal Defect, a common congenital heart condition where there's a hole in the wall that separates the heart's lower chambers (ventricles). With VSD, blood typically flows from the left ventricle (which pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body) ❤️to the right ventricle 💙(which pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygenated) due to the pressure difference between the two ventricles. 💙⬅️❤️ This leads to a mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, a

⚠️Septal defects ⠀ ⠀ Typically we see both atrial and ventricular septal defects from a congenital abnormality. ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Atrial septal defects occur in the atrial septum between the right and left atriums. This open communication between the two atriums allows for a shunting of blood (typically left to right). ⠀ ⠀ ✅ Ventricular septal defects occur in the ventricular septum between the left and right ventricles. This allows for the same issue as the ASD which allows for shunting of blood (typically
