Disease Features anomalous pulmonary venous connection, unspecified
Absence or low individual and public risk
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection, unspecified - what does this mean
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins, which are normally connected to the left atrium, become connected to other chambers of the heart, such as the right atrium, the superior vena cava, or the coronary sinus. this defect can cause decreased oxygen levels in the blood, which can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - anomalous pulmonary venous connection, unspecified
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (apvc) is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins are abnormally connected to the right atrium, rather than the left atrium. this defect causes oxygenated blood to mix with deoxygenated blood, leading to an inefficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. apvc can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and cyanosis, as well as complications such as pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmias.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Echocardiogram
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac Catheterization
- CT Scan
- MRI
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection, Unspecified.
- Surgery to repair the pulmonary veins
- Medication to reduce symptoms
- Echocardiogram to monitor the condition
- Cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure in the pulmonary veins
- Chest X-ray to confirm diagnosis
- CT scan to view the lungs and heart in detail
- Blood tests to check for infections
- Oxygen therapy to help with breathing
- Lifestyle changes to reduce the strain on the heart
21 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection, unspecified - Prevention
Prevention of anomalous pulmonary venous connection (apvc) is largely based on early detection and diagnosis. this can be achieved through regular medical checkups and ultrasounds during pregnancy, as well as genetic testing for families with a history of apvc. additionally, avoiding certain risk factors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, can help reduce the risk of developing apvc.
