This study was conducted in the Department of Cardiac surgery, NICVD. Study design was prospective cohort study. Twenty four patient with surgical closure of VSD were enrolled into this study purposively and were divided into 3 groups according to the age. In Group A (n=10), patients within age 2.0- 6.0 years, group B(n=8) patients age 6.1-18.0 years, and group-C(n=6) age range 18.1-42.0 years. Echocardiographic variables such as left ventricular posterior wall thickness, interventricular septal thickness, LA diameter, Ejection fraction, fractional shortening, LVIDd, LVIDs were taken preoperatively and at 1st and 3rd month of postoperative values. The mean age of all group was 12.60±12.09, male were 13 (54.2%) and female were 11 (45.8%). Echocardigraphic evaluation was done in different age group. There were significant changes observed in left ventricular posterior wall thickness, intervantricular septal thickness, LA diameter, ejection fraction, fractional shortening, LVIDd, LVIDs in 1st and 3rd month of postoperative values in different age group.
