The natural history of the pulmonary arterial pressure in 23 children with isolated ventricular septal defects has been evaluated by serial night heart catheterization. In none of the 23 patients was there a significant increase in pulmonary arterial pressure. Eight patients showed a significant decrease. The direction of shunts did not change between procedures, and the clinical status was stable. Our experience correlated well with the majority of institutions. It would appear that the natural course of pulmonary arterial pressure in ventricular septal defect is not commonly one of progressive rise.
