Tetrlogy of Fallot Tetralogy of Fallot This  is a rare, complex congenital heart defect . A congenital heart defect is a problem with  the heart's structure that's present at birth. This involves four heart defects: A large ventricular septal defect  (VSD) Pulmonary stenosis Right ventricular hypertrophy An overriding aorta Tetralogy of Fallot Symptoms/Signs With tetralogy of Fallot, not enough blood is able to reach the lungs to get oxygen, and oxygen-poor blood flows to the body. Doctors often don't know what causes tetralogy of Fallot. Some conditions or factors that occur during pregnancy may raise your risk of having a child who has tetralogy of Fallot. Heredity and some genetic disorders also may play a role in causing the condition. Cyanosis is an important sign of tetralogy of Fallot. Cyanosis is a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and fingernails. Low oxygen levels in the blood cause cyanosis. Other signs and symptoms include a heart murmur, d...

Angioplasty Angioplasty restores the blood flow through the arteries or veins. Arteries An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to other parts of the body. Almost all arteries carry blood with a lot of oxygen in it. Veins A vein is a blood vessel that carries blood to heart from other parts of the body. Almost all veins carry deoxygenated blood in it. Angioplasty restores the blood flow through the arteries or veins. It is to treat Atheroscelerosis (plaque in artery). In this, a thin tube inserted through a blood vessel in the arm or groin up to the involved site in the artery. The tube has a tiny deflated balloon on the end. This balloon is inflated at the site. This inflation-deflation can be done numerous times. This is done to spread the plaque so making way to blood flow. Stent is placed sometimes for better resutls. Atheroscelerosis It is a condition in which arteries or veins become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup...

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) The Human Heart This is a four-chambered muscular organ, shaped and sized roughly like a man's closed fist with two-thirds of the mass to the left of midline. The heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest. This pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assisting in the removal of metabolic wastes. Coronary Heart Disease & Symptoms Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. The most common symptom of coronary artery disease is angina, or chest pain. Angina can be described as a discomfort, heaviness, pressure, aching, burning, fullness, squeezing, or painful feeling in your chest. It can be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn. Angina may also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, throat, jaw, or back. Some other symptoms of coronary artery dise...
