Traumatic VSD is variable in its presentation, severity and clinical course. We present the case of rupture of the ventricular septum in 7-year-old boy following blunt chest trauma. [njcponline.com]

Healed myocardial infarcts were present in 3 patients. All 16 patients had severe (greater than 75% in cross-sectional area) narrowing of 1 or more of the 4 major epicardial coronary arteries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We conclude that a diagnosis of traumatic VSD, though rare, should be considered in any previously well child presenting in acute congestive cardiac failure following blunt trauma to the chest. [ajol.info]

The clinical presentation varied from asymptomatic to progressive heart failure. The timing of the diagnosis also varied significantly from immediately post valve implantation up to 1 year. [heartvalvesociety.org]

• Systolic Murmur

  The blood pressure was 100/65 mm Hg and there was a harsh systolic murmur at the left sternal edge. The chest was clear and there was no peripheral oedema. Neurological examination revealed an ataxic gait with right upper limb weakness grade 4/5. [pmj.bmj.com]

  Small to moderate resistive systolic murmurs may be louder than large non-resistive systolic murmurs. Clinical Signs Clinical signs of VSDs may include signs of left-sided heart failure. [lsu.edu]

  Although initially no murmur was heard, within 24 hours of admission a Grade 2/6 pan systolic murmur was detected at the left lower sternal border and subsequently increased in intensity to Grade 3/6. [njcponline.com]

  A grade 2 to 5/6 systolic murmur is audible at the lower left sternal border. It may be pansystolic or early systolic. [patient.info]

  On the second day, a systolic murmur was detected and Doppler echocardiography revealed an apical muscular VSD (Figure 1A), which motivated transfer to our center. [revespcardiol.org]

• Heart Murmur

  The blood flowing through the hole creates an extra noise, which is known as a heart murmur. The heart murmur can be heard when a doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope. [kidshealth.org]

  However the heart murmur was no longer audible on auscultation and no VSD could be demonstrated on echocardiography (fig 2). [pmj.bmj.com]

  The only sign may be a heart murmur – or whooshing sound – that the physician may hear via a stethoscope. If the hole is large, side effects may be noted in newborns or may not appear until months later. [childrens.memorialhermann.org]

  The physician will listen to the heart with a stethoscope (auscultation) to detect a heart murmur. X rays, electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiography can all be used to evaluate ventricular septal defect. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Progressive dyspnea, worsening congestive heart failure, and pansystolic heart murmur found during physical examination were the usual initial presentations. [the-medical-dictionary.com]

• Fracture

  The CXR showed bilateral patchy opacities but no fractures. [njcponline.com]

  Due to the high rate of residual shunt and larger delivery system, the device was modified initially to the Clamshell device and later due to high rate of frame fracture, it was modified to the Cardioseal and and the Starflex devices. [fac.org.ar]

• Suggestibility

  We suggest that the use of fibrin sealant during operations for acquired ventricular septal defects, by reinforcing the necrotic and fragile tissues, may reduce perioperative bleeding and assure a more solid implantation of the patch. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Echocardiography proved that the acquired obstruction was due to excessive tricuspid valve tissue, while Doppler studies suggested a similar gradient between the right ventricle and the ascending aorta. [karger.com]

  In retrospect also, the absence of clinical symptoms suggestive of a large VSD prior to the trauma in our patient, should have suggested that the lesion was unlikely to be congenital. [njcponline.com]

• Right Axis Deviation

  Restrictive VSDs usually produce a normal tracing, a wide notched P wave due to left atrial overload is the characteristic of Medium-sized VSDs produce, and large VSDs shows hypertrophy of the right ventricle with right-axis deviation. [ukessays.com]

  In those with pulmonary hypertension, right axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and right atrial hypertrophy (RAH) may be seen. CXR CXR is normal in patients with small VSDs. [patient.info]

• Left Axis Deviation

  Investigations The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm 100 beats/min, left axis deviation, ST elevation, and T wave inversion in the anteroseptal leads. The chest radiograph was normal. [pmj.bmj.com]

• Biventricular Hypertrophy

  With further progression of the defect, the ECG shows biventricular hypertrophy; P waves may be notched or peaked. [ukessays.com]

  With large VSDs the ECG shows biventricular hypertrophy (BVH) with or without LAH. In those with pulmonary hypertension, right axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and right atrial hypertrophy (RAH) may be seen. [patient.info]

Treatment Options Medical Management: Small sized VSDs are often asymptomatic and need no medical treatment, but monitoring. [ukessays.com]

Treatment Although small resistive VSDs often have loud murmurs, the consequences of this defect are small and this defect does not require treatment. [lsu.edu]

The long-term prognosis with medical therapy is extremely poor. We report on a patient who developed progressive heart failure within 3 months after myocardial infarction due to an unknown VSD. The left ventricular function was severely impaired. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Factors Affecting the Pathophysiology of VSD The subsequent natural history and pathophysiology depends on The size of the defect The magnitude of left-to-right shunting. [wikidoc.org]

Pathophysiology Significant left to right shunting can occur resulting in a high left ventricular cardiac output. Forward systemic flow can be reduced if the shunt is large resulting in symptoms of congestive heart failure. [healio.com]
