Babies born with otherwise-lethal single ventricle heart defects can gain decades of life from early surgical intervention, but their lives are still fraught with medical complications that ...

Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen. The newly oxygen-rich ...

Dextrocardia, levocardia, or mesocardia was seen together with right pulmonary isomerism and complex structural heart defects in the single ventricle spectrum. A dominant chamber of left ...

The left-hand side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium and a ventricle which are two connected chambers. The atria (plural of atrium) are where the ...

Though learning that your child has a heart defect like a ventricular septal defect can be frightening, understanding the ...
