Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A "hole" in the heart is typically a septal defect, which is an opening in the wall (septum) between the two chambers of the heart. Congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and myocardial ischemia are not typically associated with a "hole" in the heart in a 3-month-old infant.
