AVSD stands for atrioventricular septal defect, a congenital heart malformation in which the walls that separate the chambers of the heart and the valves that connect them do not form completely.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, the pediatric cardiologist, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon take part in its study and follow-up, often from the first months of life.

Possible manifestations: In infants there may be difficulty feeding, rapid breathing, sweating, or poor weight gain.

When to seek care? If a baby has fatigue while eating, a bluish coloration, or slow growth, it is important to raise it as soon as possible with the pediatrician and the heart specialist to determine the most suitable approach.
