Congenital Heart Diseases: Acyanotic and Cyanotic Defects from ASD, VSD and PDA to Tetralogy of Fallot and Transposition

Sylvia Simiyu Nanjala's deck begins with the anatomy and physiology of the heart, then classifies the acyanotic defects - atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus with their management and complications such as congestive cardiac failure. Cyanotic disease follows with tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries treated with IV prostaglandins, coarctation of the aorta and aortic stenosis.
