    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_septal_defect

    Ventricular septal defect is usually symptomless at birth. It usually manifests a few weeks after birth. [citation needed] VSD is an acyanotic congenital heart defect, aka a left-to-right shunt, so there are no signs of cyanosis in the early stage. However, an uncorrected VSD can increase pulmonary resistance leading to the reversal of the ...

    The normal structure of the heart (left) in comparison to two common locations for a ventricular septal defect (right), the most common form of congenital heart defect [1] Specialty: Cardiology: Symptoms: Rapid breathing, bluish skin, poor weight gain, feeling tired [2] Complications: Heart failure [2] Types: Cyanotic heart defects, non ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyanotic_heart_defect

    An acyanotic heart defect, is a class of congenital heart defects. In these, blood is shunted (flows) from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, most often due to a structural defect (hole) in the interventricular septum. [1] People often retain normal levels of oxyhemoglobin saturation in systemic circulation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenmenger_syndrome

    Eisenmenger syndrome or Eisenmenger's syndrome is defined as the process in which a long-standing left-to-right cardiac shunt caused by a congenital heart defect (typically by a ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, or less commonly, patent ductus arteriosus) causes pulmonary hypertension [1] [2] and eventual reversal of the shunt into a cyanotic right-to-left shunt.

    The severity of symptoms depends on the type of TGV, and the type and size of other heart defects that may be present (ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus). Most babies with TGA have blue skin color (cyanosis) in the first hours or days of their lives, since dextro-TGA is the more common type.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Ventricular_septal_defect

    A ventricular septal defect is when this lower wall—the ventricular septum—has a gap in it after development. The septum is formed during development as this muscular ridge of tissue grows upward from the apex, or the tip, and then fuses with a thinner membranous region coming down from the endocardial cushions.

  8. Right-to-left shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_shunt

    Early cyanosis is a symptom of a right-to-left shunt. [2] A right-to-left shunt results in decreased blood flow through the pulmonary system, leading to decreased blood oxygen levels ( hypoxemia ). Hypoxemia manifests as cyanosis, causing "blue babies."

  9. Cyanotic heart defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanotic_heart_defect

    A cyanotic heart defect is any congenital heart defect (CHD) that occurs due to deoxygenated blood bypassing the lungs and entering the systemic circulation, or a mixture of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood entering the systemic circulation.
