I want to know what the future holds for a child with down syndrome and ventricular septal defect ?

Peds. Cardiologist: This depends on the size and type of vsd and other concomitant factors and diagnoses. These are important questions for the child's pediatric cardiologist to answer.

Varies: As one of the less complex heart defects in ds this is usually amenable to the same repair procedures as any other kid with a vsd.After repair, it does not have a significant impact on the ds projected lifespan of >60 yrs.
