Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Noncyanotic defects include conditions where there is a left-to-right shunt or an obstruction that does not typically result in the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) are examples of such defects, where blood flow is from the higher pressure left side of the heart to the lower pressure right side, not typically causing cyanosis. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), on the other hand, is a cyanotic defect due to its nature of mixing deoxygenated and oxygenated blood, leading to reduced oxygen levels in the blood pumped to the body.
