Atrioventricular Septal Defect treatment in Celaya

Atrioventricular canal defect is a congenital heart defect, present from birth, in which there is an opening between the heart's chambers and a defect in the valves that separate them, which disrupts the normal flow of blood.

Common manifestations: In infants, fatigue during feeding, rapid breathing, poor weight gain, or frequent respiratory infections may be noticed.

When to seek care? It is usually detected in the first months of life, so early follow-up is important.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatric cardiologist is the go-to professional, in coordination with the pediatrician and, when required, the cardiovascular surgeon. Professional support from an early stage is key to caring for the child's heart health.
