Atrioventricular canal defect, also known as atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), is a congenital heart defect in which there is a hole in the center of the heart where the walls between the heart’s chambers meet. This defect affects both the atria and ventricles, allowing blood to flow between the chambers and disrupting the heart's normal circulation. AVSD can lead to symptoms like poor growth, difficulty breathing, and fatigue in infants and young children. Treatment typically requires surgical repair to close the hole and reconstruct the heart valves to restore proper blood flow, usually performed in early childhood to prevent complications like heart failure or lung damage.
