Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) The septum is the wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart. The wall that separates the two lower chambers or the ventricles is called the ventricular septum. If there is a hole in the wall between the two ventricles, it is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD). How common are VSDs? VSD is the most common heart birth defect.

Alveolar septum: the thin wall which separates the alveoli from each other in the lungs. Orbital septum, a palpabral ligament in the upper and lower eyelids.

How does it affect the heart? Normally, the left side of the heart only pumps blood to the body, and the right side of the heart only pumps blood to the lungs. In a child with ASD, blood can travel across the hole from the left upper heart chamber (left atrium) to the right upper chamber (right atrium) and out into the lung arteries.

Tests to confirm the presence and effect of a VSD may include: 1  Chest X-ray, a picture to look at the heart and lungs to see if they are too big or have fluid in them. 2  Electrocardiogram, a tracing of the heart's electrical system. 3  Echocardiogram, a picture of the heart to look at its parts and how they work.

In the womb the heart starts out as a single tube. As this tube loops, the two bottom tubes lie side-by-side and a wall (septum) develops to complete the division of the heart into left and right sides. The right side pumps blood to the lungs, and the left side pumps blood to the body. Sometimes this wall does not grow completely and a hole remains.

A hole in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart. This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers in the heart. ASD is a defect in the septum between the heart's two upper chambers (atria). The septum is a wall that separates the heart's left and right sides. More information for...
