The Association for European Paediatric Cardiology, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery, have recently published detailed hierarchical listings for the description of ventricular septal defects. This review details the anatomic basis for the European codes, illustrating the phenotypic features of the various holes that can be described as pe...

The systolic murmur associated with interventricular septal defect presents a number of variations which have been related to the location and size of the defect, the pulmonary vascular resistance, and to the pressure gradient between the ventricles. The purpose of this investigation was to study the relation of the pressure gradient in interventricular septal defect to the time-intensity chara...
