About Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect

What is Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (DORV-VSD) is a congenital heart defect in which the aorta and pulmonary artery both arise from the right ventricle, and there is a ventricular septal defect (VSD) between the right and left ventricles that is not connected to the pulmonary artery. This defect can cause a variety of symptoms, including cyanosis, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmias. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the defect and may include medications to manage symptoms.

What are the symptoms of Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

The most common symptoms of Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect include:

• Rapid breathing
• Poor feeding
• Sweating
• Poor weight gain
• Bluish skin color (cyanosis)
• Heart murmur
• Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Swelling in the legs, abdomen, or other areas of the body
• Poor exercise tolerance

What are the causes of Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart defect that is caused by abnormal development of the heart during fetal development. It is most commonly caused by a genetic mutation, but can also be caused by environmental factors such as maternal diabetes, maternal alcohol or drug use, or maternal exposure to certain medications.

What are the treatments for Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

The treatment for double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect typically involves a combination of medical management and surgical intervention. Medical management typically includes medications to control the heart rate and blood pressure, as well as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the lungs. Surgical intervention typically involves a procedure called a right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery conduit, which is used to redirect blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. In some cases, a patch closure of the ventricular septal defect may also be performed.

What are the risk factors for Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

1. Maternal diabetes
2. Maternal obesity
3. Maternal smoking
4. Maternal alcohol consumption
5. Maternal age over 35
6. Maternal use of certain medications
7. Family history of congenital heart defects
8. Chromosomal abnormalities
9. Exposure to certain environmental toxins
10. Low birth weight

Is there a cure/medications for Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

Yes, there is a cure for Double outlet right ventricle with non-committed subpulmonary ventricular septal defect. The treatment typically involves a combination of medications and surgery. Medications may include diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the lungs, beta-blockers to reduce the heart rate, and ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure. Surgery may involve closing the ventricular septal defect, repairing the pulmonary valve, and/or reconstructing the aorta.
