This means that your baby is born with it. A VSD is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the 2 lower chambers of the heart (right and left ventricles). VSDs are the most common type of ...

A routine 20-week ultrasound visit revealed a startling reality for Sarah Evans-Townsend and her husband Lee. Their son ...

Along with the misplaced aorta, babies with DORV also have a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a hole in the wall that normally separates the left and right ventricles. Babies born with DORV almost ...

rbht.nhs.uk Hearts with double outlet ventricles and concordant atrioventricular connections account for about 1%–3% of all cases of congenital heart disease. We review hearts with two ventricles and ...

This stimulates the upper chambers (left and right atria) to contract to pump blood down to the lower chambers (ventricles). The electrical impulse travels to an area called the atrioventricular (AV) ...

The black-and-white images show the internal structure of the brain, including the ventricles (the fluid-filled cavities in the brain) and the blood vessels. Head ultrasounds are done only on young ...

Epicardial excitation was explored by means of an exploring electrode during operation on a patient with a large atrial septal defect of the secundum type, whose ECG indicated a Wolff-Parkinson-White ...

No VI and AHW reference values have yet been established for preterm infants at term. Aim To establish normal values for VI and AHW of lateral ventricles in neonates (GA 24–42 wks) at birth and to ...

Background: Right ventricular failure (RVF) is most commonly observed as a sequela of left ventricular failure (LVF)—for which it more than doubles the risk of mortality. Moreover, isolated RVF is the ...
