A major sign of heart failure in infancy is difficulty feeding and poor growth. VSD signs and symptoms are rare after infancy because the defect either decreases in size on its own or is repaired. [pediatricct.surgery.ucsf.edu]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Prevention
What about preventing endocarditis? Most children with an ASD are not at increased risk for developing endocarditis. [heart.org]
For a while after the procedure, your child might also need antibiotics before certain medical and dental procedures to help prevent an infection of the heart valves. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Prevention In most cases, atrial septal defects can't be prevented. If you're planning to become pregnant, schedule a visit with your health care provider. This visit should include: Getting tested for immunity to rubella. [mayoclinic.org]
