A member asked:

How loud is the murmur from a small vsd?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Varies: The intensity of the murnur can vary depending on various patient factors, including the precise location of the defect in the wall, the size of the patient, the pressure on the right side of the heart, etc. However, a restrictive vsd will usually produce a prominent murmur.
