Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

Hi There I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that as you are 24 years old so VSD is not gonna close by it self now. I would like to advise you to go for an Echocardiography review once more to see if there is any shunt reversal in VSD. If still there is left to right shunt then it's advisable to go for VSD closure either by surgery or by device which ever is suitable in your case. It's also advisable that you should consult your cardiologist personally to discuss your treatment options.
I wish you good health
