Abstract
Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the interventricular septum and may be isolated or associated with other major defects involving patency of the arterial duct, coarctation of aorta, pulmonary stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, double-outlet right ventricle, truncus arteriosus, and transposition, and account for over half of the patients with congenital heart disease. Isolated ventricular septal defect is the most commonly recognized congenital heart anomaly in children and accounts for about one-fifth of all congenital heart disease. In this chapter, we’ll cover isolated ventricular septal defects.
