Disease Features double outlet right ventricle
Absence or low individual and public risk
Double outlet right ventricle - what does this mean
Double outlet right ventricle is a congenital heart defect in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle, instead of the normal arrangement of the aorta arising from the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery arising from the right ventricle. this defect can lead to a variety of complications, including congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and pulmonary hypertension.
What happens during the disease - double outlet right ventricle
Double outlet right ventricle (dorv) is a congenital heart defect that occurs when both the aorta and pulmonary artery exit the right ventricle instead of the left ventricle. this defect can be caused by abnormal development of the heart during fetal development, resulting in an abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery. this defect can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, poor weight gain, and cyanosis. treatment for dorv usually involves surgical repair to correct the abnormal connection and restore the normal flow of blood through the heart.
