  • A normal fetal blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta fails to close at the time of birth. (drgreene.com)
  • Classically, this condition is a combination of four defects: 1) a large VSD, 2) narrowing of the exit to the right ventricle (pulmonary stenosis), 3) overdevelopment of the muscular wall of the right ventricle (right ventricular hypertrophy), and 4) the aorta is positioned above the wall separating the two sides of the heart (an overriding aorta). (drgreene.com)
  • This is a narrowing of the valve at the exit of the left ventricle that directs blood into the aorta, where oxygenated blood flows to supply the body. (drgreene.com)
  • If the timing and intensity of the two pulses are equal and blood pressure in the right arm is normal, coarctation of the aorta is unlikely. (aafp.org)
  • The aorta arises from the small right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Factors such as anatomic stresses (eg, coarctation of the aorta) that contribute to an increased afterload (end-systolic wall stress), as well as neurohormonal factors that increase systemic vascular resistance, also lead to systolic dysfunction. (medscape.com)
  • Barney's heart condition, coarctation of the aorta, was diagnosed at Emma's 20-week scan. (tinytickers.org)
  • This is when we were told Barney's heart hadn't formed correctly and was showing a condition called coarctation of the aorta. (tinytickers.org)
  • Coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of part of the aorta, the main blood vessel bringing red oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Most children with coarctation need corrective surgery or balloon angioplasty to widen the narrowed aorta. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Coarctation, a heart birth defect, is narrowing of just one segment of the aorta, not the whole aorta. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Aortic Valve Stenosis in Children Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the valve that opens to allow blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta and then to the body. (msdmanuals.com)
  • In this condition, the aortic valve between the left ventricle and the aorta did not form correctly. (ketteringhealth.org)
  • Before birth, the baby has a blood vessel that runs between the aorta (the main artery to the body) and the pulmonary artery (the main artery to the lungs), called the ductus arteriosus. (limamemorial.org)

(medscape.com)
  • The other end of the spectrum encompasses complete atrioventricular septal defects, with both ASDs and ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and a single common AV valve. (medscape.com)
  • These septal defects are accompanied by atrioventricular (AV) valve abnormalities, which may lead to regurgitation, further complicating the problem. (medscape.com)

(nshealth.ca)
  • Causes of primary diastolic dysfunction include an anatomic obstruction that prevents ventricular filling (eg, pulmonary venous obstruction), a primary reduction in ventricular compliance (eg, cardiomyopathy, transplant rejection), external constraints (eg, pericardial effusion), and poor hemodynamics after the Fontan procedure (eg, elevated pulmonary vascular resistance).

  • A heart murmur (a sound created by turbulent blood flow through narrowed or leaking heart valves or through abnormal heart structures) is sometimes present. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The heart sounds transmitted are due to closing of heart valves, and abnormal heart sounds, called murmurs, usually represent valve incompetency or abnormalities. (medscape.com)
Regurgitation4
  • Complications, including complete heart block and AV valve regurgitation, were also common. (medscape.com)
  • [ 5 ] An improved understanding of the structure and function of the common AV valve and a realization of the importance of closing the mitral cleft led to refinements in surgical technique that have decreased the short-term and long-term incidence of AV valve regurgitation. (medscape.com)
  • In the absence of left AV valve regurgitation, the hemodynamic features are the result of left-to-right shunting at the atrial and ventricular levels. (medscape.com)
