	abstract = {Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most frequent type of congenital heart disease. Conventional methods to evaluate VSD size and severity are both invasive and cumbersome to perform. We investigated whether the ratio between the diameter of the defect and the aortic root diameter (DVSD/DAR) would accurately reflect the degree of shunted blood and the severity of VSD in children with perimembranous VSD. 
Methods: We recruited 987 children with perimembranous VSD (pmVSD) and used color Doppler echocardiography to calculate DVSD/DAR. 987 healthy children were recruited as control group. The pmVSD group was further stratified into four groups according to age (1 to 4 y) and again into four groups according to the DVSD/DAR ratio: children whose DVSD/DAR was 1/5 to },
