About this document
Acyanotic Congenital Heart Defects Guide by Geraldine Hernandez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses acyanotic congenital heart defects, which are heart abnormalities present at birth that do not cause cyanosis. It describes the main types as left-to-right shunts, which allow blood to flow from the high-pressure systemic circulation to the low-pressure pulmonary circulation, and obstructions, which narrow blood vessels or chambers. The most common left-to-right shunts are atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and atrioventricular septal defects
