A member asked:
Will a small hole in your heart cause lack of oxygen in your blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asd or vsd: An atrial or ventricular septal defect(hole in the heart) that is small generally would not cause a problem with oxygenation. Moderately large or large size defects however can cause problems with oxygenation.
