Abstract
Background Symptoms of serious heart problems present at birth often appear during the first few days, weeks, or months of a child's life. Shunt formation between the left and right ventricle is a crucial component of the pathophysiology of ventral septal defects. Objectives We aim to determine the most frequent types of ventricular septal defect (VSD) by echocardiography and whether there is any gender variation in the type of ventricular septal defect. Material and methods A total of 100 children who were clinically suspected of or diagnosed with VSD at the age of 1-12 years were enrolled in this study. The septum of the atrioventricular (AV) canal, the muscular septum, and the parietal band of the distal conal septum were evaluated by color Doppler. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) size and kind are similarly impacted by the 2D echo mode. The size and site of the VSD, associated congenital anomaly, and significant morphological changes in ventricular cavities, gender discrimination, and relation-specific types of ventricular septal defect were observed. Results A total of 100 VSD children presented with clinical symptoms of fast breathing, retraction of the chest, cough, cyanosis, fever, difficulty during feeding, cyanotic spell, chest pain, and edema at 65%, 62%, 54%, 52%, 54%, 29%, 9%, 11%, and 4%, respectively. Conclusion Early diagnosis is essential for effective medical care of diseases such as infective endocarditis (IE), which is present in some cases of VSD, and the avoidance of persistent pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD).
