M-Mode echocardiography was performed in 22 normal children and 22 children with ventricular septal defects. Left ventricular and left atrial chamber dimensions and wall thicknesses were measured in all patients. Utilizing these data, indices of left ventricular function were derived: shortening fraction, velocity of fiber shortening, peak diastolic fiber lengthening, end-systolic wall stress, radius thickness ratio, and ventricular mass. The results showed that ventricular septal defect was associated with enlarged left ventricular and atrial dimensions and increased shortening fraction, but that velocity of shortening and early diastolic lengthening remained normal. Left ventricular mass was increased, thus maintaining normal wall stress and radius/thickness ratio. Cardiac failure complicating ventricular septal defect was associated with enlarged left ventricular and atrial dimensions (indexed for weight). Ventricular mass, wall stress and function, however, were similar in subjects with ventricular septal defect, with or without cardiac failure. Since left ventricular mass was adequate to maintain wall stress and function in subjects with heart failure, other factors were presumably responsible for heart failure complicating ventricular septal defect.
