Patent ductus arteriosus - what does this mean
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus, a normal fetal blood vessel that allows oxygen-rich blood to bypass the lungs, fails to close after birth. as a result, oxygen-rich blood from the aorta flows back into the pulmonary artery, increasing the workload on the heart and leading to congestive heart failure and other serious complications.
What happens during the disease - patent ductus arteriosus
Patent ductus arteriosus (pda) is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth. this results in a persistent opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta, allowing oxygenated blood to flow from the pulmonary artery into the aorta, bypassing the lungs. this can cause increased pressure in the pulmonary artery and decreased blood flow to the lungs, leading to pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary edema. it can also cause decreased blood flow to the body, leading to poor perfusion, hypoxia, and organ damage.
