Does electroconvulsive therapy safely improve manic symptoms in a patient with a repaired ventricular septal defect?
Electroconvulsive therapy can be safely administered to patients with a repaired ventricular septal defect when clinically indicated and managed by a multidisciplinary team.
Kovvuri et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Bipolar affective disorder with repaired ventricular septal defect (n=1). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was evaluated on Safety and clinical improvement (Young's Mania Rating Scale score). Electroconvulsive therapy was safely and successfully administered to a patient with a repaired ventricular septal defect, reducing her Young's Mania Rating Scale score from 41 to 7.
