Flashcards
Pulmonary Stenosis
Pulmonary Stenosis
A narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery, obstructing blood flow to the lungs.
Cyanosis in Tetralogy of Fallot
Cyanosis in Tetralogy of Fallot
Bluish discoloration of the skin due to low oxygen levels in the blood, especially when stressed.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
A hole in the wall between the atria, causing oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

Study Notes
Tetralogy of Fallot
- Characterized by a combination of four heart defects: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta
- Common symptom in infants: cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin due to inadequate oxygenation
Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
- Characterized by a lack of cyanosis, as oxygenation is adequate
- Commonly associated with: atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus
- Not typically associated with: defects that obstruct blood flow, such as pulmonary or aortic stenosis
