- What is ventricular septal defect? A ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart deformity where the septum between the heart's ventricles fails to close completely, leaving an opening between both ventricles and allowing blood to leak through.

I was born with a VSD and surgery was performed on it in order to close it. Without the surgery, the hospital states that I would have paralysis at age 5 and that I would have died at age 13-14. I am now 17. Thank you for helping me understand my defect.
Thank you for sharing your story, and you are welcome!
Greek Fire I’m just like you. I also was born with vsd, and I also had pulmonary stenosis along with it. I understand completely. I had surgery to close it at 6 months old I’m now 14 1/2. I’m glad for my second chance at life. Aren’t you?
Same here, but I didn’t need any surgeries.
SomebodyOnce ToldMe I have VSD. I still suffer it.
I also have and still have VSD I'm already 20.
I am 59 and had a VSD closed when I was 42. This is the best explanation of a VSD I've seen. It is simple and understandable. To anyone out there with a child who has a VSD, please, please, please follow-up as not all VSDs close on their own.
Joanna Kelley Hi, what was the procedure like? I've only just discovered I had this and I'm in my 20s
I had open-heart surgery. It was about a four hour procedure and they did the sternotomy through the breast bone. They closed the hole with a patch. I was only in the hospital four days. One day in ICU. The sternotomy is painful and takes a while to heal. VSDs can vary in size and some do not require surgery. It is my understanding that they may close, but by the time one is an adult that is not likely. I do know they are doing less invasive surgeries to close smaller VSD's. I was in crisis and having congestive heart failure when I had surgery, therefore my experience was a little different than someone not in crisis. I actually lost 30lbs the first week because I was retaining so much fluid. I have a small amount of leakage near the closure, but just had it checked and it is very minimal. Check out the following group as they have information about childhood heart disease in an adult. It is really important that you see a cardiologist that understands congenital heart disease as opposed to acquired heart disease: www.achaheart.org/
Many thanks for your reply and glad to hear you are better. I will look at the link you sent. Many kind regards
Hello am 23 years and have it ...today I went to the doctor because my heart has been beating so fast I could hear it
What is the size of vsd
My son is 41 years old and had a VSD repair when he was just one year and ten months old. This was permormed by Prof. Philip Caves in Glasgow's Children's Hospital in Yorkhill. It turns out, according to Dr Caves, that my son had multiple holes that therefore required a larger dacron patch ( he explained to me that the dacron used was first used on spacecraft, therefore space science helped medical science). My son is now a Commercial Airline Pilot who requires to complete an A1 medical every year. I am saying this to let others know that VSD is not the end of the world. It is a defect that is easily fixed, not a disease of the heart (many of which are also relatively easily fixed.) I hope this posting is a comfort to some who may be anxious about the procedure and outcome.
Dot Kerr Respect 😊
thank you very much for your words!
I was 6 months old myself when I had to have open heart surgery to fix this I also had pulmonary stenosis along with it. I had the surgery at doernbeacer’s children’s hospital in Portland Oregon. Dr.Shawnesty ( I do not know how to spell it I’m only 14) performed the surgery. I lived of course. So I sort of understand it
Mine never needed any surgeries, I was very lucky and still have it to this day.
i am a scrub nurse...nd found ppl about vsd very hopeless
I usually don't comment, but could not hold back to say that your videos have set a new standard for medical education! Very well done.
Agreed

Thank you so much for this video. My son is 3 years old and had moderate VSD and dr is saying that it is causing damage to the valves and it needs surgical closure. Does VSDs cause damage to valves.
Whether we should go for the surgical closure or not is very tough to decide.
In addition my son is very active and we do not see any kind of symptoms like bluish skin or numbness or short of breath, nothing.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, thank you so much everyone.
Baby with. Vsd can fly by air
hi! I don't know if this advice will still be relevant to you as it's been four months, but I figured I'd share my personal experience anyway.
I was born with a moderately sized (and also weirdly shaped) VSD that doctors kept a close eye on as I was growing up. I got some stories on what the experience was like for a parent raising a kid with a VSD from my dad, so I understand, at least in part, how stressful that experience can be. the thing about VSDs is that they aren't limited to causing problems in just one area; its possible that they can cause damage to other heart valves, but from what I've read this is related to where the VSD is located.*
if your doctor is recommending surgery, I would take him seriously, BUT I also strongly advise you to ask the doctor specifically why he thinks surgery is the best option. ask them to explain what is going on inside your son's heart in layman's terms, why surgery is the best option, what the potential complications are if you do or don't, and what the risks are and why the benefits outweigh them. this is your kid, and you deserve to make a fully informed decision!
I also recommend asking for a second opinion. medicine is a practice and no doctor has all the answers; they provide the answers they do based on their own schooling and training and experiences. its possible that a second doctor will corroborate the opinion that your son needs surgery, or they may provide a different answer. my dad told me about how when I was one, my cardiologist told my parents that for where I was at the time, performing a surgery to close my VSD would be unnecessarily invasive, and that I would likely never require surgery to close it. my parents were skeptical and cautious, of course, so they asked him for a second opinion; he took their request seriously, and they got a second opinion from the head of pediatric surgery at the hospital I went to; he agreed that surgery wouldn't be necessary. my parents felt a lot better about his opinion after that, and they didn't schedule me for surgery. and for what it's worth, my cardiologist was right! I have never needed surgery to close my VSD. (it still exists; because of its location and shape it was unlikely to ever close, but I have just about zero limits on my life even with my VSD.) your story in asking for a second opinion will be different, but either way it should help you make a decision with greater confidence.
I hope this helps, if it reaches you. either way, I wish you and your son the best!
*important disclaimer: I am not a doctor! just someone who has done a fair amount of research into why and how my heart works the way it does
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I appreciate it. We have done the surgical closure after taking multiple advices from the doctors. As the hole was near the valve it was causing damage to the valve, so we had to go through the surgery. It has been three months now and my son is doing well. He has recovered from it. We have to take follow ups every six months now.
Thank you for taking out the time to write about your experience. Wishing you the best and healthy life.
Amazing educational video. Keep up the good work
thank you so much!
Another important factor in Eisenmenger's syndrome is the passage of venous circulation blood clots (microemboli) from venous circulation, where they are very common, to the systemic circulation where they can cause TIA, stroke and other systemic embolic events.
The best presentation of concepts I have ever seen, thank you so much for the teachings :)
No problem - thanks for watching. =)
This is very good. The only thing I would add is that, yes, most VSDs are congenital- but an MI can also cause rupture of the interventricular septum.
Thanks for explanation
Simple explanation ,my wife is patient of VSD suffering from Pulmonary hypertension
thank you soooooo much
great work
Sending lotss of love for Osmosis From Bangladesh❤️
so good. thank you so much❤
Thank you !!

What size of your vsd
there's a lot of similarity between PDA and VSD!
I’m currently a full time student but once I have some money & become a nurse, I’ll be donating to you. You’re videos have guided me during my entire career as a nursing student. Sometimes I wonder, why I even attend lecture, when I can just watch your videos! Lol anyway thanks for everything!
thank you bro ✊💥⚡
Thanks, Malik! 🙏🏼
I have VSD,ASD,and PA
Is Eisenmenger Syndrome also possible in ASD?

I got diagnosed with VSD at 2 years old. I'm 28 but they think the hole has gotten bigger from high blood pressure. Has this happened to anyone else?

Could you explain the clinical features abit that how such babies would present as ?
Cero 7 it may be asymptotic in case of small defect and low pulmonary pressure
But the symptoms which include Dyspnea feeding problems poor growth recurrent chest infection and even Heart failure in early infant in case of large VSD with pulmonary hypertension
And he may present with cyanosis when the pulmnary pressure increase so the blood shutned from RT TO LF 💂🏻
thankyou so much @toqa qutaiba
thank you so much
You're welcome. =)
These videos are very useful but I would like to suggest you to put more about the treatment of the disease,diagnosis and symptoms. This is what medical students ask for,not only the physiology.
Thank you anyway 🙂
Great quality material! Please consider making a video about how vaccines work.
+Vede Stefania Teodora Thanks for the suggestion. You can check out our Patreon community where we invite suggestions on videos and allow members to vote on upcoming content: www.patreon.com/osmosis?ty=h
You not only help people who are studying this material but you help others who have/had this defect better understand it. I for one now know much more then I used to on vsd/pulmonary stenosis which were the two heart defects I was born with
cool video! btw, i have one question, how does VSD cause congestive heart failure? can someone explain to me the pathophysiology behind it?
Very well explained. This would have took me a lot more time If I read on my own. But you explained it so clear and in a very little time. Thank you soo much
You're very welcome, Krystle! 🥰❤️🙏🏼
Nice video, I have a ventricular septal defect and have had it sense I was born. This has taught me more about it, thanks!
MASTERPIECE ! :)
Thanks Lighto! =)

I am 14 and I feel shortness of breath sometimes but I think it's better than usual and they say "shortness of breath is related to large vsd" is it really true , I m scared:(
Shortness of breath can be due to different pathologys like from anemia,lung pathology like tb,or cardiovascular problems.. Kindly do a medical checkup to trace out the exact cause
Sir mere 9 mm prembrane left to right stunt mai hole tho keya kru plese dr replay
Brilliant video xx. I had two. V.s.d s. Repaired. Over. The years. First. One I was. 7. Years old. Then the second one. I was 22 years old , I. Still have a. Small v.s.d. . I am. 62. Years. Of age.

I subbed! I suffer VSD! Thx for more info
I'm 22 years old of vsd girl. I consulting doctor... Doctor result is not successful our operation... It's critical stage of age.....my pulse 62....finaly doctor results tablet medicine.... 😒
do you know the causes ?
@@alexxx3021 I don't know
@@alexxx3021 sorry pa no vsd.... Tga
How does the sound of the holosystolic murmur associated with VSD relate to the size of the VSD?
I usually don't comment, but could not hold back to say THAT YOU'R FUCKING GREAAAAAAAAAAT !!!!
Eisenmenger's syndrome is named after Victor Eisenmenger, a German Physician (1864-1932)
best medical videos in TH-cam
Wish we have enough money for surgery
I have a large vsd in my heart and my age is 23yrs.sir is any chance to repair my heart plz answer
My sister also has VSD she’s 18 what symptoms do you have ?
How is your health now and what surgery you had
@@santhiyavina2749 now I m suffering PAH with EISENMENGER syndrome and dr says there is no surgical procedures for me because of my age condition now I have to heart lung transplant after two or three years...
Tbh...I don't like when structures are schematically drawn...But that could be just me. I like to see things just as they are. Same with the ASD video; I could just see half of the heart. And drawing the lungs below makes me think that it flows in that direction. It's easier to understand. But great video as always.
I finally understood it after watching this video
Glad it helped, Hyime! 🙏🏼
Meine Tochter ist mit einem schweren Herzfehler geboren worden!
Wir führen Video Tagebuch hier auf TH-cam! allen Herzkindern und Eltern viel Kraft!
I have to comment and say that your videos are fucking amazing. I have yet to find any other videos that break down the material so well like you all. You're helping this nurse practitioner student so much!!!
Why do they have mid diastolic murmur at the apical area when the defect is moderate to large size?! 🙁
What if the lungs develop resistance to the higher pressures? Is the surgical repair of the ventricular septal defect still enough?
I love you a million times over. I love you for making complex concepts in textbooks seem easy. Thank you. You're a genious
Thank you for explaining this video my daughter had vsd and pulmonary valve stenosis and when she is 6 months old she's going to do surgery at Mott children Hospital
Awesome video. Thank you. I’m wandering if you could you tell me what software did you use to make the presentation?
Hey what is the difference between Pa banding and vsd surgery.
Hi, i was wondering is this related to ; "partially reversible defect in apex inferior wall"?as someone i know has had a hospital letter about this, thanks 👍🏻
i wish u were my medical lecturer instead😓 thank you thank you soooo much🌷❤
Amazingly well explained, good graphics to help and a pleasant/upbeat voice. Thank you so much for making my education fun

Plz reply me
When I was A Kid, My Doctor Told To My Parents That It Will Automatically Closes When I Grow Up.

Thank you sir.Your lectures are very helpful and it covers a lot of content in short time...
I'm 35yrs old male and I was just recently diagnose with a very very small "Ventricular Septal Defects". For the last 6-7 yrs I've had trouble breathing, not able to take in a full breath of air. I was misdiagnose couple times, doctors believed it was asthma, ribs out of place, acid reflex and anxiety. I'm not here to complain But thankful we now know what the problem is and I can move froward. My question is??? My Doctor recommends to take "Flecainide Acetate" 50mg a tab twice a day, I'm wondering if theirs an "Natural Alternative"? I know I can just call my doctor and ask but I want to see if any one else might know or have the same question? Thank you
Unfortunately we cannot give out medical advice. Best of luck!
No problem....
LStayD have you always had a VSD i mean since birth? Have you had surgery? Were you not diagnosed as a child? My son also has a small VSD he is now 7 yrs of age i would appreciate it so much if you can give me an insight of your VSD. all the best to you i hope you live a long and happy life. Thanks
You can use diuretics if the symptoms is mild or can use drugs that decrease afterload and ace inhibitors.. ask the doctors for these drugs
