Usually congenital, but rarely acquired after myocardial infarction or trauma. May be associated with other congenital defects such as tetralogy of Fallot.
5 maj 2022 · Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) account for up to 30% of all congenital cardiac anomalies and are one of the most common lesions encountered in day-to-day practice.
