  2. Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

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

    Pulmonary atresia in PAVSD takes place during the first 8 weeks of fetal life, when the pulmonary valve that is supposed to form, fails to form, this doesn't allow blood to flow through the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle. The ventricular septal defect associated with PAVSD lets the right ventricule form. [27] [28] [29] [30]

    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 ...

    Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) or atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD), also known as "common atrioventricular canal" or "endocardial cushion defect" (ECD), is characterized by a deficiency of the atrioventricular septum of the heart that creates connections between all four of its chambers. It is a very specific combination of 3 defects:

    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/wiki/Cardiomegaly

    Heart murmur: Two of the heart's four valves – the mitral and tricuspid valves – may become dilated and not close properly, leading to a backflow of blood. This flow creates sounds called heart murmurs. Cardiomegaly may be a temporary condition that can resolve on its own.
