About Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect

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

Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (DORV-SPVSD) 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 ventricle and the subpulmonary (or infundibular) chamber. This defect is associated with a number of other cardiac anomalies, including transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary stenosis, and aortic stenosis. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the VSD and other associated defects.

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

The most common symptoms of double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect include:

-Rapid breathing
-Poor feeding
-Sweating
-Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin)
-Poor weight gain
-Heart murmur
-Shortness of breath
-Fatigue
-Palpitations
-Excessive sweating
-Lightheadedness
-Fainting

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

Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart defect that is caused by abnormal development of the heart during fetal development. It is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as maternal diabetes, maternal alcohol or drug use, and certain viral infections.

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

The treatment for double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect typically involves a combination of medications and surgery. Medications may include diuretics to reduce fluid buildup in the lungs, ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure, and beta-blockers to reduce the heart rate. Surgery may involve a procedure called a right ventriculotomy, which involves opening the right ventricle and closing the ventricular septal defect. Other surgical options may include a pulmonary artery banding procedure, which reduces the amount of blood flowing to the lungs, or a complete repair of the defect.

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

1. Maternal diabetes
2. Maternal obesity
3. Maternal advanced age
4. Maternal smoking
5. Maternal alcohol consumption
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 subpulmonary ventricular septal defect?

Yes, there is a cure for double outlet right ventricle with 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.
