• 1. Fatigue
• 2. Breathing Difficulties: Congested or heavy breathing, or shortness of breath during exercise in ASD cases.
• 3. Swelling: In the abdomen, legs, or feet, commonly associated with ASD.
• 4. Irregular Heartbeat: Skipped beats, rapid heart rate, or palpitations (ASD-specific).
• 5. Sweating and Slow Weight Gain: Common in VSD, especially in babies who may also reject feeding.

Since these symptoms often overlap with other heart conditions, consult expert cardiologists at <strong>Universelle Medicaid for a precise diagnosis.

Diagnosing VSD/ASD

• 1 Echocardiogram: Shows blood movement through the heart and valves; fetal echocardiography is used for unborn babies.
• 2 Chest X-ray: Examines the chest, lungs, and heart size; detects additional fluid in the lungs.
• 3. EKG/ECG: Identifies arrhythmias.
• 4. MRI or CT Scan:' Used when other tests are inconclusive, especially for ASD.
• 5. Cardiac Catheterization: A thin catheter is inserted through the groin or arm to detect defects in the heart or valves (primarily for VSD).
• 6. Pulse Oximetry: Measures oxygen levels in the blood, commonly for VSD.

The cost of ASD/VSD closure surgery depends on the diagnostic findings.

Treating VSD/ASD

• 1. Medications: Diuretics or drugs to reduce fluid circulation.
• 2. Surgical Repair: Open-heart surgery using stitches or patches to close the hole.
• 3. Catheterization: A less invasive procedure where a catheter inserts a mesh to patch the hole.
• 4. Universelle Medicaid offers expert treatment options for ASD/VSD closure at competitive costs.
