	VSD
		Ventricular septal defects are an abnormal communication at the ventricular level.
		Operative closure of all ventricular septal defect is indicated by the second year of age, symptoms or not, as the risk for irreversible pulmonary vascular obstructive disease rises substantially thereafter.
		Pulmonary artery banding is reserved for cases with multiple ventricular septal defect and in symptomatic patients with concomitant medical conditions such as RSV pneumonia or intracerebral hemorrhage.

		This kind of ventricular septal defect is very close to the tricuspid valve septal leaflets which may be damaged by shunting across the defect whether it is involved, or not in forming an aneurysmal pouch leading which may lead to ventricular septal defect closure.
		Subaortic stenosis is usually a discrete membrane in the left ventricular outflow tract distal to the ventricular septal defect and rarely proximal to the defect.
		In patients with ventricular septal defects or mitral stenosis the pulmonary arterial pressures may be elevated because of mitral stenosis and increased pulmonary blood flow, however, their effects are not additive, i.e.

	Text
		Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a orifice in the interventricular septum that allows blood to flow from one ventricle to the other.
		In the second dog, the VSD was diagnosed at eight weeks of age and the murmur and angiocardiographic evidence of a VSD were gone at 1 year of age.
		The location of the defect can be determined on the short-axis view, being at approximately 11:00 to 12:00(when the aortic root is viewed as a clock face) when the defect is a perimembranous inlet defect or a membranous defect and at 1:00 to 3:00 when it is a perimembranous outlet defect (Figures 12 and 13).

	Ventricular Septal Defect
		Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart.
		A ventricular septal defect can allow newly oxygenated blood to flow from the left ventricle, where the pressures are higher, to the right ventricle, where the pressures are lower, and mix with unoxygenated blood.
		Ventricular septal defects are the most common congenital heart defects in infants (that is, defects that a person is born with).

	Ventricular Septal Defect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart abnormality in infants and children, with equal frequency in both sexes.
		The consequences of a VSD depend on the size of the defect and the relative resistance in aortic and pulmonary artery beds.
		But if the defect is large, the ventricular pressures (right and left) are equal and the size of flow into the pulmonary and aortic, systemic (remainder of body) circulations is determined by the resistances in the two beds.

		A VSD denotes a defect in the interventricular septum that is composed of muscular and membranous segments.
		The most common defects occur in the region of the membranous septum and are referred to as paramembranous or perimembranous defects because they are larger than the membranous septum itself and are associated with a muscular defect at a portion of their perimeter.
		The presence of a significant VSD in the absence of irreversible pulmonary hypertension warrants surgical closure.

		Ventricular septal defects are the most commonly occurring type of congenital heart defect, occurring in one to three out of every 1,000 live births, and four to seven out of every 1,000 premature births.
		When blood passes through the VSD from the left ventricle to the right ventricle, a larger volume of blood than normal must be handled by the right side of the heart, causing the right side to become overworked and enlarged.

	Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
		Children with a ventricular septal defect are at increased a risk of an infection of the heart (endocarditis).
		Children with large defects, especially occurring with Eisenmenger's syndrome, are at risk of a stroke due to a blood clot passing through the hole in the heart and going to the brain.
		For a ventricular septal defect, the doctor may be able to close the hole by using a small mesh patch or plug during catheterization.

	Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) - Lucile Packard Children's Hospital
		A ventricular septal defect allows oxygen-rich (red) blood to pass from the left ventricle, through the opening in the septum, and then mix with oxygen-poor (blue) blood in the right ventricle.
		Large muscular defects deep in heart muscle are often difficult to close with surgery. One method currently being used to close some muscular VSDs is the use of a device called a septal occluder.
		When a large VSD is diagnosed later in life, if complications occur after surgical closure, or a large VSD is never repaired, the outlook is generally poor.

	Ventricular Septal Defects
		Ventricular septal defects are heart defects that are present at birth (congenital).
		Small ventricular septal defects can close on their own (spontaneously) or become less significant as the child matures and grows.
		Moderately-sized defects can cause congestive heart failure, which is characterized by an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and/or failure to thrive.

		Ventricular septal defect (VSD): A hole in the septum (the wall) between the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).
		Ventricular Septal Defect is the most common type of heart malformation (congenital heart disease).
		A VSD lets blood from the left ventricle (where it is under relatively high pressure) shunt into the right ventricle which has to do extra work to handle the additional blood, may have trouble keeping up with the load, enlarge, and fail.

		When small, such defects cause little in the way of problems and often "heal" (close) on their own.
		The effect on heart function depends on the size of the defect, but may be very minor.
		Larger VSDs allow more blood to flow from the left ventricle to the right ventricle and lead to increase in pressure and flow in the lung circulation.

	GEMS - Ventricular Septal Defect
		This defect is very similar to atrial septal defect.
		If a substantial size defect is not corrected, then the pressures in the pulmonary arteries may become very high and induce changes in the arteries themselves such that even closure of the defect will no longer improve the patient.
		In this case, the pressures in the right side of the heart are high enough that blood may begin to flow from the right to the left side of the heart.
