  2. Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_atresia_with...

    Heart sounds of a ventricular septal defect patient. The condition consists of atresia affecting the pulmonary valve and a hypoplastic right ventricular outflow tract. The ventricular septal defect doesn't impede the in and outflowing of blood in the ventricular septum, which helps it form during fetal life. [3] [5]

  3. Ventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_of_the_great...

    Symptoms may appear at birth or after birth. 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 ...

  5. Eisenmenger syndrome - Wikipedia

    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.

    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.

  7. VACTERL association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VACTERL_association

    Approximately 40-80 percent of patients with VACTERL association have been reported to have congenital heart disease. [5] The most common heart defects seen with VACTERL association are ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defects and tetralogy of Fallot. Less common defects are truncus arteriosus and transposition of the great arteries.

  9. Pentalogy of Cantrell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentalogy_of_Cantrell

    Many congenital heart malformations have been described in conjunction with pentalogy of Cantrell. The most common is ventricular septal defect , found in 72% of cases. Others include atrial septal defect , cardiac diverticulum , pulmonic stenosis , double outlet right ventricle , tetralogy of Fallot , dextrocardia , and transposition of the ...
