ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECTS.
 Defect (Hole) in inter atrial septum.
 Blood flows from left atrium to right atrium.
 Blood flow through pulmonary (Lungs) circulation increases.
 Changes in Pulmonary (Lungs) blood vessels.
VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS
 Defect (Hole) in the inter-ventricular septum.
 Blood flow from left ventricle to right ventricle.
 Blood flow through pulmonary (Lungs) circulation increases.
 Changes in pulmonary (Lungs) blood vessels
PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
 Persistence of fetal structure Ductus arteriosus.
 Connects Aorta with left pulmonary artery.
 Blood flows from aorta to left pulmonary artery.
 Lungs blood flow increases.
 Changes in pulmonary (Lungs) blood vessels
TREATMENT
 To reduce the blood flow to lungs to normal.
 Closure of these abnormal blood flow channels.
 With time.
 By cardiac physician
