Explanatory deep learning to predict elevated pulmonary artery pressure in children with ventricular septal defects using standard chest x-rays: a novel approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We hypothesize that applying artificial intelligence (AI) to chest x-rays (CXRs) could identify the future risk of PAH in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods A total of 831 VSD patients (161 PAH-VSD, 670 nonPAH-VSD) was retrospectively included.

PE-482887-005 VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE PRESENCE OF SEPTAL ANATOMICAL ISTHMUSES IN PATIENTS WITH REPAIRED TETRALOGY OF FALLOT

HeartRhythm

In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), the septal anatomical isthmuses (AI), 3, between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary annulus, and 4, between the VSD and tricuspid annulus, are important ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates when slow conducting.

PO-06-072 BIPOLAR ABLATION FOR SEPTAL VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN A PATIENT WITH CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS

HeartRhythm

Bipolar ablation carries a risk of steam pops, conduction system injury, etc but iatrogenic VSD has not previously been described Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an adjunctive tool for VT ablation to treat deep intraseptal or mid-myocardial sources of arrhythmias.

Important Complications of Eisenmenger Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Diagrammatic representation of VSD Eisenmenger. The other Eisenmenger syndromes are not called Eisenmenger complex, only VSD Eisenmenger is called Eisenmenger complex. Large ASDs usually develop Eisenmenger syndrome, may be after decades, not like early development of Eisenmenger syndrome in VSD and PDA.

X-Ray Chest PA View in Severe PAH

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In VSD Eisenmenger and PDA Eisenmenger, you would not expect right atrial enlargement. In VSD and PDA Eisenmenger, the heart size decreases when pulmonary hypertension develops, due to decrease in the shunt. In ASD, shunt is decreasing in Eisenmenger but right atrial enlargement is a component for cardiomegaly.

Surgical and transcatheter treatments of mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Introduction Major advances in reperfusion therapies after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have resulted in dramatic reductions in the rate of mechanical complications including ventricular septal defect (VSD), free wall rupture (FWR) and papillary muscle rupture (PMR).
