ECG changes in ventricular septic defect (VSD)

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

These include:

  • if the defect is small the ECG may be normal
  • while the pulmonary resistance is low the volume overload of the left ventricle produces features of left ventricular hypertrophy
  • as the pulmonary resistance increases right ventricular hypertrophy occurs
  • as pulmonary and systemic vascular resistances become balanced the left ventricular volume overload is lost. The left ventricular hypertrophy regresses leaving pure right ventricular hypertrophy
