Congenital heart disease producing heart failure after age 1 to 2 weeks of age
Congenital heart disease commonly produce heart failure after age 1 to 2 weeks of age are all Except
[A] VSD
[B] TGA
[C] Truncus arteriosus
[D] Parachute mitral valve
Congenital heart disease producing heart failure after age 1 to 2 weeks of age
- VSDs and AV septal defects
- TGA
- Truncus arteriosus
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Why VSD, TGA and Truncus arteriosus cause heart failure usually after the age of 1 to 2 weeks of age but not at birth?
- After age 1 to 2 weeks pulmonary vascular resistance reduce.
- This allows substantial left-to-right shunting
- Increased Left to Right shunt cause heart failure
- So heart failure is more common inthis period.
