1. Which feature best distinguishes a cyanotic congenital heart defect from an acyanotic one?
2. What pulmonary blood flow pattern is most typical of cyanotic congenital heart defects?
3. What type of shunt characterizes acyanotic defects with left-to-right shunting?
Cyanotic defects — shunt type?
Right-to-left shunting causes cyanosis.
Acyanotic defects — shunt type?
Left-to-right shunting increases pulmonary flow.
Pulmonary blood flow — defect classification?
Classifies defects as increased, normal, or decreased.
Right-to-left shunt — effect?
Causes systemic desaturation and cyanosis.
Left-to-right shunt — effect?
Leads to pulmonary overcirculation and failure.
Cyanotic vs acyanotic — key difference?
Cyanotic involves ↓ pulmonary flow; acyanotic involves ↑ or normal flow.
