    Acute ventricular septal defect (VSD) patients with severe right ventricular (RV) dysfunction often experience poor outcomes. Early intervention is crucial, as RV dysfunction significantly impacts mortality in these critical cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Acute ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a serious cardiac condition.
    • Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a significant concern in VSD patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical course and outcomes of acute VSD patients.
    • To analyze the role of RV dysfunction in mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of eight patients with acute VSD.
    • Early intervention included intra-aortic balloon pump, cardiac catheterization, and open-heart surgery.
    • Angiographic assessment of RV function during left ventriculography.

    Main Results:

    • All patients exhibited severe RV dysfunction on angiography.

  • Angiographically observed RV akinesis was more extensive than surgical findings of RV infarction.
  • RV dysfunction was the primary cause of death in two patients and a contributing factor in three others.
  • One patient presented with RV papillary muscle rupture.

    • Conclusions:

    • Severe RV dysfunction is a common and critical finding in acute VSD.
    • RV dysfunction significantly influences mortality in patients with acute VSD.
    • Early aggressive management may be necessary for this high-risk group.
