Complete atrioventricular septal defect with ventricular hypoplasia is a congenital heart defect in which the atrioventricular septum (the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart) is missing or incomplete, and the ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart) are smaller than normal. This defect can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, poor feeding, and fatigue. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the defect and medications to help manage symptoms.

The symptoms of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect with Ventricular Hypoplasia can vary depending on the severity of the defect. Common symptoms include:

-Poor feeding
-Rapid breathing
-Sweating
-Cyanosis (bluish skin color)
-Poor weight gain
-Heart murmur
-Heart failure
-Arrhythmias
-Low blood pressure
-Lethargy
-Exercise intolerance
-Shortness of breath
-Swelling in the legs, abdomen, and/or around the eyes

Complete atrioventricular septal defect with ventricular hypoplasia is a congenital heart defect that is caused by abnormal development of the heart during fetal development. The exact cause of this defect is unknown, but it is believed to be due to genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include genetic mutations, maternal diabetes, maternal alcohol or drug use, and exposure to certain medications or toxins during pregnancy.

1. Surgery: Open-heart surgery is the most common treatment for complete atrioventricular septal defect with ventricular hypoplasia. During the procedure, the surgeon will close the hole in the septum and reconstruct the heart valves.

2. Medications: Medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. These may include diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure, and anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

3. Pacemaker: A pacemaker may be implanted to help regulate the heart rate and improve the heart’s function.

4. Heart transplant: In some cases, a heart transplant may be necessary if the heart is too weak to function properly.

1. Maternal diabetes
2. Maternal alcohol consumption
3. Maternal smoking
4. Maternal age over 35
5. Maternal obesity
6. Maternal use of certain medications
7. Genetic factors
8. Chromosomal abnormalities
9. Congenital infections
10. Exposure to certain environmental toxins

At this time, there is no cure for complete atrioventricular septal defect with ventricular hypoplasia. However, there are medications that can be used to manage the symptoms associated with this condition. These medications may include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and antiarrhythmic drugs. Surgery may also be recommended to repair the defect and improve the function of the heart.
