Physiological changes in heart just after birth:-
The fetal heart shunts become closed just after birth.
At birth, major changes take place. The umbilical cord is clamped
and the baby no longer receives oxygen and nutrients from the
mother. With the first breaths of air, the lungs start to expand,
and the ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale both close. The
baby's circulation and blood flow through the heart now function
like an adult's.
Yes, Hala's heart defect linked to it.
All happenings that are mentioned occur in Tetralogy of
Fallot.
This type of heart defect changes the normal flow of blood through
the heart.
Due to right ventricular Hypertrophy boot shape size is seen in
x-ray.
Due to Narrowing (constriction) of the pulmonary valve reduces
blood flow to the lungs.
Another condition ventricular septal defect reduces the supply of
oxygenated blood to the body and eventually can weaken the
heart.
And the last one is overriding of aorta. In this aorta is shifted
slightly to the right and lies directly above the ventricular
septal defect.
