A member asked:
My dd(4month) wid 1 moderate size perimembranous vsd & 2 small apical muscular vsds on diuretics & capril, why her legs are so cold in even blankets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not related: The vsds will shunt excess blood into the lungs, eventually causing pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. They need to be repaired - you probably already know that. The vsds are not directly responsible for cold legs but if she's ill and not eating well, malnutrition and failure to thrive may be.
