Abstract

Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is an opening in the ventricular septum that allows blood to flow between the ventricles. Most ventricular septal defects are located in the upper ventricular septum and can be identified by auscultation. In this report, 2 dogs with heart murmur were diagnosed as VSD using radiography and echocardiography. In radiographs, bulging sign of the main pulmonary artery or the enlargement of the left ventricle was observed. The color Doppler examination showed the left-to-right shunting of blood via interventricular septal defect.
