Explain the significance of a ventricular septal defect?
What will be an ideal response?
Ventricular septal defects are the most common congenital heart problems, affecting 0.12 percent of newborn infants. The opening between the left and right ventricles has a similar effect to a connection between the atria: When it beats, the more powerful left ventricle ejects blood into the right ventricle and pulmonary circuit. Pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary edema, and cardiac enlargement may result.
