Description

This striking anatomical image captures the heart with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), revealing the structural alterations that impact normal blood circulation. The defect allows oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the right ventricle, affecting oxygen delivery throughout the body. The image also highlights the adjacent anatomical structures, such as the lungs, bronchi, and major arteries, providing a holistic perspective on how VSD can influence overall cardiovascular and respiratory function. This visualization serves as an excellent tool for medical training, patient education, and in-depth pathology studies.
