Older kids or teens who have small VSDs that don't close usually have no symptoms other than the heart murmur which is the extra noise and if this is the case visiting a doctor is permitted. Medium and large VSDs that haven't been treated in childhood may cause noticeable symptoms. Babies may have faster breathing and get tired out…

    Premature Ventricular Contractions (Pvcs) Overview- Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are abnormal, extra heart-rates that initiate in ventricles, one of your heart's two lower pumping chambers. These additional pulsates disturb your normal heart musicality, in some cases making you feel a flip-flop or skipped beat in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions are extremely normal, mainly it occurs in most of the people at some time. If you are infected by ventricular constrictions,…

    detect ventricular septal defects or any other septal defects, and any defects with valves can also be evaluated. Despite all the advancements there are some limitations in complex cases of Tetralogy of Fallot. The main concern is sudden cardiac death after surgical repair. There has been various studies and research regarding predictive assessment parameters. The evaluation of the right ventricle shows good potential primarily because there is not much known about preserving right ventricular…

    each year are born with a congenital heart defect (“Congenital Heart Defect”). It also states in the article that the most common type of heart defect is the ventricular septal defect. A ventricular septal defect is a flaw in the septum; the septum is a “wall” in the lower chambers of the heart that separates the left and right side (“Ventricular Septal Defect”; “Atrioventricular Canal Defect in Children”). Parents are able to be more aware if their child acquires the defect by being…

    Atrial septal defects(ASD) is a highly prevalent congenital heart disease [1]. There are four major types of ASD: Ostium Secundum, ostium premium, sinus venous, and coronary sinus [2]. The ostium atrial septal defect is an abnormally large opening in the atrial septum. During the early embryo stages, the atria enlarge, and the septum primum develops with the progression of the embryo. At the final development stages of the embryo and as the heart matures the ostium primum completely shuts;…

    There arises an electrical chaos causing the pumping function is lost due to muscle contractions cease. Ventricular fibrillation is considered a cardiac arrest and the patient loses consciousness almost immediately. CPR must be started immediately. With an electrical device called a defibrillator, may flicker broken in most cases if treatment is started immediately. When ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation an emergency measure to bring the heart back to normal operations. Defibrillation…

    Peter had Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) resultant episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). Cardiomyopathy describes a family of heart diseases affecting the heart muscle resulting in structural and functional abnormalities. (NICOL BOOK). In DCM a portion of the myocardium in the ventricles is dilated leading to progressive cardiac enlargement and hypertrophy. (cite cardiac book) Peter had a familial history which was compounded by alcohol misuse which further…

    VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA Description Ventricular tachycardia is a type of Ventricular arrhythmia, or a rapid heart beat that arises from improper electrical activity of the heart presenting as a rapid heart rhythm. It starts in the bottom chambers of the heart, called the ventricles. This is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because it can cause low blood pressure and may lead to ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and sudden death. Causes Arrhythmias are due to problems with the…
