In our second CHD Spotlight episode, we'll discuss holes in the heart—atrial septal defects (ASDs), ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and more!

Today's CHD Spotlight is on the most common type of heart defect commonly referred to as "holes in the heart." This episode features Dr. William Novick—an internationally-known cardiothoracic surgeon and the head of the Novick Cardiac Alliance, a nonprofit organization providing life-saving heart surgeries to children around the world.

In this episode, Dr. Novick shares the names of some specific congenital heart defects (they are commonly referred to as "holes in the heart") and the treatment used to help people born with these heart defects survive and thrive.  He also discusses some heart defects which commonly have a hole in their heart, as well.
