42
Q

Most common ACYANOTIC congenital heart
lesion in infants

A

VSD

43
Q

VSD accounts for _____% of congenital heart defects and _______ close before the age of _______

A

VSD accounts for 30% of congenital heart defects and 1/2 close before the age of 4

44
Q

What structure closes as the newborn takes its first breath?

Will this increase or decrease pulmonary vascular pressure?

How does it do this?

A

Ductus arteriosus

decrease PVR

bradykinins release and constrict smooth wall
