Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) - International Society of

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a common birth defect of the heart Our hearts are comprised of four chambers two upper chambers- the right atrium and left atrium and two lower chambers- the right and left ventricles The right and left ventricles of the heart are separated by a wall of muscle called the ventricular septum

VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT What is a ventricular septal defect?

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common type of congenital heart defect The wall between the two pumping chambers (ventricles) or ventricular septum does not form correctly leaving a hole or ventricular septal defect (VSD) The hole can be in different locations in the ventricular septum and can be many different sizes

What is a ventricular septum malformation (VSD)?

A VSD is a malformation of the wall (interventricular septum) between the two pumping chambers (ventricles) allowing an abnormal communication. A VSD is a type of congenital defect, which means it is present from birth. VSDs are classified based upon whether they are restrictive or non-restrictive.

What is a VSD in dogs?

A VSD is a type of congenital defect, which means it is present from birth. VSDs are classified based upon whether they are restrictive or non-restrictive. In order to understand how this disease may affect your dog, it is important to understand normal circulation in the heart.

What is a non-restrictive VSD?

Non-restrictive VSD : A non-restrictive VSD is a larger diameter defect that allows blood to flow freely between the left and right sides of the heart. The direction of flow is determined by resistance from the lungs and from the body (called “systemic resistance”).

Should VSD be surgically closed?

Current guidelines recommend immediate surgical VSD closure, irrespective of the patient’s haemodynamic status, to avoid further haemodynamic deterioration [48, 49]. Nevertheless, a subgroup of patients with VSD exists, for whom surgery is futile, because mortality approaches 100%; this includes the very elderly and patients with poor RV function.
