How would this heart defect affect the ability of the cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to body cells?

Answer: The septum prevents oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood from mixing in the heart. If there is a hole in the septum between the left and right ventricles, oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood would be able to mix and the cardiovascular system would not be able to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the cells and the cells won’t be able to get the oxygen needed.

I hope it helps, Regards.

At the same time, depleting the oxygen rich blood that is going to the body.
