Large defects result in a significant left-to-right shunt and cause dyspnea with feeding and poor growth during infancy. A loud, harsh, holosystolic murmur at the lower left sternal border is common. Recurrent respiratory infections and heart failure may develop. Diagnosis is by echocardiography.

A neonate with any of the following findings needs urgent assessment including echocardiogram even if a murmur is not present: signs of heart failure or shock (see below), lower limb saturations <96% in the absence of respiratory disease, >3% difference between pre and post ductal saturations, absent/weak femoral pulses.
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.
VSD is an opening or hole (defect) in the wall (septum) separating the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). In normal development, the wall between the chambers closes before the fetus is born, so that by birth, oxygen-rich blood is kept from mixing with the oxygen-poor blood.
18 gru 2017 · In the group with pathologic murmur, ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the most common CHD disease in 54 cases (31.4%) and patent ductus arteriosus was the second common type in 40 cases (23.3%) ( Tables 4 and. . 5 ).
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.
Evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist is indicated for newborns with a murmur because studies show that neonatal murmurs have higher rates of pathology than in older children, and neonatal...
