14 kwi 2024 · Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital cardiac anomaly in children and are the second most common congenital abnormality in adults, surpassed only by a bicuspid aortic valve.
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].
21 paź 2022 · If ventricular septal defect is present, the health care provider may hear a whooshing sound (heart murmur) when listening to the heart with a stethoscope. Tests that are done to help diagnose ventricular septal defect include: Echocardiogram. This is the most commonly used test to diagnose a ventricular septal defect.

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.
Adults who were told they "had a hole in their heart" that closed on its own usually have no murmur and a normal EKG. If an echocardiogram is performed, it may show an outpouching called a ventricular septal aneurysm in the area where the VSD was located.
7 cze 2024 · Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are defects in the interventricular septum that allow shunting of blood between the left and right ventricles. Usually congenital, but rarely acquired after myocardial infarction or trauma. May be associated with other congenital defects such as tetralogy of Fallot.
