You can donate the blood with ventricular septal defect. But then you should not donate the same. You need to be given a bravery award for this attempt only.

What is the usual direction of blood flow across a Ventricular Septal Defect?
the world may never know
Can people with supra ventricular tachycardia SVT donate blood?
No...you should not donate blood if you are tachycardic. Most blood banks will not allow you to donate blood if you heart rate is over 100. Some people with SVT can have a seizure if they donate blood. This is a question you need to have answered by your cardiologist.
Why tetralogy of fallot babies go blue after being born?
Their blue skin, a condition called cyanosis, comes from the Ventricular Septal defect. This is a whole in the wall of the left and right ventricles which allows deoxygenated, blue, blood to travel throughout the rest of the body.
Surgical management of tetralogy of fallot?
There are two common surgical procedures for treatment of tetralogy of fallot: the Blalock-Tausigg Shunt and a patch. The Blalock-Tausigg Shunt is used to direct more blood flow to the lungs, in order to relieve cyanosis, but it is only meant as a temporary treatment until the patient is stable enough to undergo further treatment. A patch is used, during open heart surgery, to close a ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect.
How does ASD affect the heart?
Atrial Septal Defect, also known as ASD, affects the heart by allowing oxygen rich blood into the chamber with oxygen poor blood. The septum between the two has a defect allowing this to happen, therefore allowing blood with a poor concentration of blood to travel to the lungs.
What are the symptoms of a ventricular septal defect?
Ventricular Septal Defect SymptomsSmall holes in the ventricular septumusually produce no symptoms but are often recognized by the child's health care provider when a loudheart murmur along the left side of the lowerbreast bone or sternum is heard. Large holes typically produce symptoms 1-6 months after an infant's birth. The left ventricle begins to fail, producing the following symptoms:Fast breathingSweatingPallorVery fast heartbeatsDecreased feedingPoor weight gainWhen a ventricular septal defect is not detected early in life, it can cause more severe problems and more severe symptoms as time goes on. The biggest concern is development of high pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). If the ventricular septal defect is not surgically closed, irreversible pulmonary hypertension can develop, and the child is no longer operable and has a poor prognosis. The following are typical symptoms of pulmonary hypertension:FaintingShortness of breathChest painBluish discoloration of the skin (cyanosis)The skin turns faintly bluish when the tissues are not receiving quite enough oxygen. This condition is often termed "hypoxemia" or "hypoxia."
What conditions can be revealed by cardiac catheterization?
enlargement of the left ventricle; ventricular aneurysms (abnormal dilation of a blood vessel); narrowing of the aortic valve; insufficiency of the aortic or mitral valve; and septal defects
What causes a heart murmur and how does it sound?
Some causes of heart murmurs can include a congenital defect in a heart valve, a hole in the wall of the heart, endocarditis, and many other medical conditions. Some symptoms of a heart murmur are shortness of breath, fainting, and pain in the chest area.
How do you explain about the VSD?
VSD is abbreviation of Ventrical Septal Defect whic is a congenital heart defect. it is a defect in the heart wall that seperates left and right ventricals. this wall is called Septum. in VSD the blood flows into right ventical from the left ventrical through the septum which is not normal. for more details please see wikipedia.org. thanks
How do you get a hole in your heart?
It depends on the size of the hole and whether it can repair on its own. Some people with these disorders don't need surgery but some do. The only way to know is to see a specialist. If one is cynotic (turning blue) or passing out or feeling faint these are not good signs. Wish you the best!
Why do tetralogy of fallot babies go blue after being born?
Babies with ToF often go blue after being born because their heart rate accelerates making it more difficult for their heart to pump through the stenosis in pulmonary valve (valve to the lungs) and also because they have a large VSD (ventricular septal defect) (a whole between the bottom chambers of the heart) causing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to mix. Deoxygenated blood has a bluish tinge!
Anatomy and physiology of tetralogy of fallot?
The primary defect of the Tetralogy of Fallot heart is insufficient growth of the outlet of the right ventricle, the lower chamber of the right heart. Therefore the ventricular septum has a hole. These make the aorta displaced anteriorly. Finally, the right ventricular muscle is thickened as a result of longstanding obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. According to the narrowing of the right ventricular outflow, there is limitation of pulmonary blood flow, blood flow to the lung. Lower oxygenated blood that is sent to the lung is very limited so that the patient will be blue.
