Superior QRS axis in ventricular septal defect. 1989

N J Shaw, and M J Godman, and A Hayes, and G R Sutherland
Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh.

The relation between the superior orientation of the QRS axis and the anatomical site of the defect in the ventricular septum in patients with a ventricular septal defect was studied. Of 1031 patients with a ventricular septal defect, 64 (6.2%) had a superior axis on their electrocardiogram. In 59% of these patients the defect was in the inlet portion of the ventricular septum or affected this area. None of the cases was classified as an isolated ventricular septal defect of the persistent atrioventricular canal type. While there is an association between a superior axis and perimembranous inlet ventricular septal defect, a superior QRS axis does not characterise a ventricular septal defect as being of the atrioventricular canal type.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
