Understanding Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Treatment Options
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart condition characterized by a hole in the septum between the heart's ventricles. This defect can lead to various complications and is often associated with chromosomal disorders. Different types of VSD exist, each requiring tailored treatme

Understanding the Control of Heart Beat
The heart controls its own beat through the cardiac cycle initiated by the Sinoatrial node (SA node). This myogenic system allows the heart to contract and relax without the need for external impulses. The cardiac muscle responds to electrical waves, leading to synchronized contractions of the atria
