IntroductionVentricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heartdisease (CHD), accounting for 2030% of all CHD cases. While surgical closure has been the gold standard for treatment, transcatheter closure has emerged as a less invasive alternative, particularly for perimembranous VSDs.
Objective Early risk assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with congenital heartdisease (CHD) is crucial to ensure timely treatment. We hypothesize that applying artificial intelligence (AI) to chest x-rays (CXRs) could identify the future risk of PAH in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD).
The sign has been described in VSD with biventricular hypertrophy in children. It can be seen with isolated VSD as well as complex ventricular septal defect. Katz-Wachtel Phenomenon or Sign on ECG in VSD An ECG with Katz-Wachtel phenomenon is shown here.
BackgroundAs a minimally invasive approach to treating congenital heartdisease (CHD), the application of the right subaxillary small incision (RSSI) has been developing fast in its indication spectrum. A1:1 matched MS group (282 cases) and RSSI group (282 cases) were obtained after performing propensity score matching (PSM).
milla1cf Wed, 05/29/2024 - 07:00 May 29, 2024 — Congenital heartdisease (CHD) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide, which brings a heavy health and financial burden to patients. Early CHD screening and treatment can significantly improve children’s prognosis and quality of life.
Lowering the raised LA mean pressure is a major therapeutic goal in any severely symptomatic left heartdisease, whether it is valvular or myocardial disease. Curious minds might ask, can’t we decompress LV it self by creating a small VSD. Probably in the thin membranous area.
It has been reported that the estimated burden of congenital heartdisease (CHD) in Ghana approximates 372 per million population , a disproportionally high number due to the higher fertility rate in the country relative to other countries in the Region. million people, with 10.95 million children (38.8% of total) under 15 years old.
The VSD is partly overrided by the aorta. And all the three are cyanotic congenital heartdiseases. I am sure that most of you are familiar with echocardiography would have come at the diagnosis and differential diagnosis by this time because it is a very simple view. Right ventricle, left ventricle.
But in a VSD with pulmonary hypertension A wave is not prominent. So a prominent A wave in a complex congenital heartdisease situation would indicate that interventricular septum is intact. It will not occur in the presence of a large VSD which equalizes both right ventricular and left ventricular pressures.
Free wall rupture, VSD, Dresslers Syndrome, chronic CHF, anatomic LV aneurysm, LV thrombus, stroke, etc). It is unacceptable as an initial diagnosis in patient with risk factors for heartdisease. No further echocardiograms were available after cath. Teaching points: 1.
