Atrioventricular Canal Defect is a congenital heart condition involving a hole in the center of the heart that affects the atrioventricular valves and the septum between the heart’s chambers. This allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, leading to inefficient circulation and symptoms like fatigue, poor growth, and heart failure. AVCD is common in children with Down syndrome and often requires surgical repair to prevent complications. For a detailed look at this condition, view our 3D model of Atrioventricular Canal Defect.
