Disease Features total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Absence or low individual and public risk
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection - what does this mean
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins (which carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart) are abnormally connected to the right atrium, instead of the left atrium. this causes oxygen-poor blood from the body to mix with oxygen-rich blood from the lungs, leading to oxygen deficiency in the body and other serious complications.
What happens during the disease - total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (tapvc) is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins, which normally carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium, are abnormally connected to the right atrium or other systemic veins. this results in oxygenated blood being diverted to the right side of the heart and then to the systemic circulation instead of the left side of the heart and the pulmonary circulation. as a result, blood returning to the left side of the heart is not oxygenated, leading to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the body.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection
- Perform a surgical repair procedure to restore normal blood flow
- Administer medications to reduce symptoms and prevent pulmonary hypertension
- Perform regular echocardiograms to monitor the progression of the condition
- Provide oxygen therapy to improve the oxygenation of the blood
- Provide lifestyle modifications to improve the patient’s overall health
- Provide regular follow-up care to monitor the patient’s progress
21 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection - Prevention
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection can be prevented by reducing the risk factors associated with it, such as maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and certain viral infections during pregnancy. additionally, prenatal screening and genetic testing can be used to identify the condition before birth.
