Congenital heart disease

Perfusfind S.L.

A heart in which the two main arteries carrying blood away from the heart are reversed. A normal blood pattern carries blood in a cycle: body-heart-lungs-heart-body. When a d-transposition occurs, the blood pathway is impaired because the two arteries are connecting to the wrong chambers in the heart. This means..

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cardiac anomaly that refers to a combination of four related heart defects that commonly occur together. The four defects are:  − a hole between the right and left pumping chambers of the heart Overriding aorta − the aortic valve is enlarged and appears to arise from both..

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital malformation in which all four pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium. Instead the four pulmonary veins drain abnormally to the right atrium (right upper chamber) by way of an abnormal (anomalous) connection.

 with  is a more severe form of TOF, a type of heart defect. It’s a congenital condition, which means it’s something a baby is born with. Babies who have TOF with pulmonary atresia have five heart abnormalities:  (VSD) Overriding aorta: This means the aorta is moved toward the right side of heart,..

The most common venous abnormality of the thorax is persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), incidence being less than 0.5%. However, with congenital heart disease, it is about 6.1%. When the coronary sinus is dilated always search for PLSVC. The coronary sinus may communicate with the left atrium. This is known..
