Resumen
ZALDIVAR-GARIT, Isvel et al. Morphology of ventricular walls in human fetuses with septal defects. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2023, vol.45, n.3, pp. 364-378. Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 1684-1824.
Introduction:
congenital heart diseases are structural and/or functional defects of the heart and large vessels, as a consequence of an error in the embryogenesis of these structures. Septal defects are usually the most common congenital heart diseases.
Objective:
to identify the association between ventricular walls morphology and septal defects in human fetuses.
Materials and methods:
an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Medical Sciences Faculty of Pinar del Rio Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna and the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the General Teaching Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado, in the period from January 2019 to December 2020, with 54 fetuses resulting from pregnancy interruptions indicated by genetics
Results:
septation defects predominated in males. Interventricular communication was the most frequent septation defect. The thickness of the right ventricle showed significant linear and statistical differences in relation to gestational age in the three studied defects. Similar characteristics showed the thickness of the inter-ventricular septum in truncoconal defects.
Conclusions:
in the presence of septal defects, modifications of the heart septum thickness are observed.
