Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) – UrgentCare2Go®
In-Home Evaluation for Symptoms Related to Congenital Heart Defects
UrgentCare2Go® provides discreet, in-home evaluations for symptoms possibly associated with Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD), a congenital heart condition affecting normal blood flow through the heart’s chambers and valves. Our mobile providers assess symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, poor exercise tolerance, or concerning cardiac signs. We review personal and family history, evaluate current symptoms, and guide patients on the safest next steps, including when further cardiac imaging or specialty care may be needed.
We accept most major insurance plansWhat Is an Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) Consultation?
An AVSD consultation helps evaluate symptoms that may be associated with congenital structural heart abnormalities involving the atrial and ventricular septum and the atrioventricular valves. Providers assess breathing patterns, exercise tolerance, fatigue, heart rate irregularities, and developmental concerns in children or persistent cardiac symptoms in adults.
The goal is to determine whether symptoms may be related to AVSD or another cardiac or non-cardiac condition, and to guide safe next steps such as imaging, monitoring, or specialty care.
What We Review During Your Consultation:
- Breathing difficulty, fatigue, or exercise intolerance
- History of congenital heart abnormalities or murmurs
- Irregular heartbeat or rapid breathing episodes
- Family history of congenital heart disease
- Infant or child feeding difficulties or poor growth
- Need for further assessment such as echocardiogram or ECG
- Recommendations for coordination with pediatric or adult cardiology

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What symptoms may indicate Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD)?
Symptoms may include rapid breathing, fatigue, difficulty feeding (in infants), poor growth, heart murmurs, irregular heartbeat, or shortness of breath. Adults may experience palpitations, decreased exercise tolerance, or signs of heart failure.
How is AVSD typically diagnosed?
Diagnosis generally requires a detailed cardiac evaluation including echocardiogram, ECG, chest imaging, and clinical review by a cardiologist. Our visit helps determine whether these next steps are appropriate.
Can AVSD be evaluated at home?
While formal diagnosis requires imaging, many early symptoms or concerns can be evaluated at home. Providers help identify risk factors, assess symptoms, and guide next steps safely.
Is AVSD dangerous?
Severe or uncorrected AVSD can lead to heart enlargement, pulmonary hypertension, valve issues, or reduced oxygenation. Early detection and appropriate follow-up significantly improve outcomes.
What treatments are available?
Treatment often involves surgical correction in childhood for moderate or severe defects. Symptom management, medications, or cardiology-monitored follow-up may be recommended for mild cases or adults with residual defects.
Can adults have symptoms from childhood AVSD?
Yes. Adults with partially corrected or previously unrecognized AVSD may experience arrhythmias, fatigue, or heart failure symptoms. Evaluation helps determine the cause and next steps.
When should urgent or emergency care be sought?
Seek immediate care for severe breathing difficulty, fainting, blue or gray skin tone (in infants), rapid worsening of symptoms, or significant chest discomfort.
Will my insurance cover AVSD-related evaluations?
Most insurance plans cover evaluations for cardiac symptoms. Coverage depends on your specific plan, copay, and deductible.
Can lifestyle changes help manage symptoms?
Providers may recommend activity adjustments, monitoring strategies, and routine cardiology follow-up to support long-term heart health.
How can I prepare for my appointment?
Bring your medical history, symptom timeline, current medications, and any previous cardiac evaluations. For children, note feeding patterns and growth concerns.
