Causes-
- The causes of VSD are not yet known. This defect often occurs along with other congenital heart defects.
- In adults, ventricular septal defects are a rare but serious complication of heart attacks. These holes are related to heart attacks and do not result from a birth defect.
- Genetics - The frequent association between arch abnormalities and significant conal VSDs suggests a common mechanism involving a chromosome band 22q11 microdeletion. Deletions in this area have not been linked with isolated supracristal VSDs.
