Quiz: Circulatory
Question 1 of 3

In all animals, congenital heart defects can cause abnormal shunting of blood. Left-to-right shunts cause blood to be recirculated through the pulmonary vessels and can result in chamber dilatation. Right-to-left shunts cause blood to bypass the pulmonary vessels and can cause cyanosis. Which of the following conditions is most likely to result in a right-to-left heart shunt?

  • A.

    Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)

  • B.

    Ventricular septal defect (VSD)

    Patent foramen ovale

  • D.

    Tetralogy of Fallot

Am I correct?
