21 paź 2022 · A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the heart that's present at birth (congenital heart defect). The hole is between the lower heart chambers (right and left ventricles). It allows oxygen-rich blood to move back into the lungs instead of being pumped to the rest of the body.
14 kwi 2024 · Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most prevalent congenital cardiac anomaly in children and the second most common in adults, surpassed only by bicuspid aortic valves. The primary mechanism leading to hemodynamic compromise in VSDs is the abnormal communication between the right and left ventricles, resulting in shunt formation.
9 lis 2021 · A ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall that separates the lower chambers of your heart. When this hole is large enough, the amount of blood leaking between the chambers can cause permanent damage to your heart and lungs and increase the risk of heart infections. Most VSDs don’t cause symptoms and close on their own by age 6.
Most adults have small VSDs that don't usually cause symptoms because the heart and lungs don't have to work harder. On physical examination, small VSDs produce a loud murmur. Even small VSDs may occasionally be a source of infection called endocarditis.
14 mar 2022 · Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects (second only to bicuspid aortic valve) at birth, but accounts for only 10 percent of congenital heart defects in adults because many close spontaneously [1,2].
14 lis 2006 · Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart defect in both children and adults. Management of this lesion has changed dramatically in the last 50 years. Catheter-based therapy for VSD closure, now in the clinical trial phase, is another step in the evolution of treatment for this disorder.
