Cross-sectional study identifies diagnostic approaches and complications of ventricular septal defect in infants, highlighting the role of echocardiography.
Key Points
Pulmonary hypertension was reported in 58.70% of pediatric patients with ventricular septal defect, emphasizing its severity.
Echocardiography was used as the definitive diagnostic tool in all 46 pediatric patients with a ventricular septal defect.
In this cross-sectional study, most patients were under one year old, demonstrating the high prevalence of this condition in infants.
The presence of complications like aortic cusp prolapse and regurgitation suggests significant long-term health implications for affected children.
