Ventricular Septal Defect
{"Image DocumentName": "Ventricular Septal Defect", "Image ImageDescription": "During systole some of the blood from the LV leaks into the RV, passes through the lungs and reenters the LV via the pulmonary veins and LA. Such circuitous route of blood causes volume overload on the LV. The LV normally has a much higher systolic pressure (~100 mm Hg) than the RV (~85 mm Hg) and through VSD blood leaks into the RV and elevates RV pressure and volume, causing Pulm HTN. These changes lead to elevated RV & pulmonary pressures & volume hypertrophy of the LA & LV.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
