VSD is a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart (AHA, 2016). The blood is shunted from the left ventricle artery, across the open septum into the pulmonary artery without any impediment (Ball & Bindler, 2008). The opening may cause a higher pressure in the heart or reduced oxygen to the body (AHA, 2016)…

903). These catalytic substances stimulate "elevated gastrin levels, acid production, the death of mucosal cells, release of toxins, and inhibition of protective prostaglandins" (Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 904). The outcome of these caustic chemical reactions leads to a breakdown of the mucosa and development of ulcers.
