7 sie 2023 · Background. Older adults with a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) recently exhibited reduced heart rate variability and exercise capacity. It is unknown whether these findings affect health‐related quality of life. Methods and Results.
10 lis 2023 · Introduction. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) with a very high mortality, despite advances in surgical and circulatory support. The tremendous hemodynamic disturbance and the severely fragile myocardium render surgical repair a great challenge.
26 paź 2021 · 1 Citations. Metrics. Abstract. Background. Surgical closure of multiple ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is challenging and associated with a high complication rate. Several factors may affect the outcomes after surgical repair of multiple VSDs.

What are the risks of VSD surgery? Most children who have VSD surgery do not experience any complications. However, all operations have risks. For VSD surgery, the risks include: Excess bleeding; Infection; Blood clot, which can increase the chances of stroke or other problems; Abnormal heart rhythm; Heart block, which can make a pacemaker ...
A hole in the septum between the heart's two lower chambers is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD). ASDs and VSDs allow blood to pass from the left side of the heart to the right side. This means that oxygen-rich blood can mix with oxygen-poor blood.
