Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most prevalent congenital cardiac anomaly in children and the second most common in adults, surpassed only by bicuspid aortic valves. The primary mechanism leading to hemodynamic compromise in VSDs is the abnormal communication between the right and left ventricles, resulting in shunt formation. This activity will focus on understanding the presentation and pathophysiology of VSDs, enabling clinicians to enhance their diagnostic and management skills. Furthermore, the emphasis on interprofessional collaboration underscores the importance of a team-based approach in effectively addressing the complex challenges associated with congenital heart defects. By participating in this activity, clinicians can expect to acquire up-to-date knowledge, practical insights, and strategies for optimizing patient care and outcomes in the context of VSDs.
