Pulse

screening
 
is
 
most
 
 
 
 
likely
 
to
 
detect
 
seven
 
of
 
the
 
CCHDs.
 
These
 
seven
 
main
 
screening
 
targets
 
are:

D-transposition

Content: In
 
a
 
normal
 
heart
 
the
 
blood
 
flows
 
in
 

 
cycle: body-heart-lungs-heart-body. When
 
a
 
d-transposition
 
occurs,
 
the
 
blood
 
pathway
 
is
 
impaired
 
because
 
the
 
two
 
arteries
 
are
 
connecting
 
to
 
the
 
wrong
 
chambers
 
in
 
the
 
heart. Tetralogy
 
 
 
 
of
 
 
 
 
Fallot

 
heart
 
defect
 
that
 
features
 
four
 
problems. They
 
are: a
 
hole
 
between
 
the
 
lower
 
chambers
 
of
 
the
 
heart; an
 
obstruction
 
from
 
the
 
heart
 
to
 
the
 
lungs; the
 
aorta
 
(blood
 
vessel)
 
lies
 
over
 
the
 
hole
 
in
 
the
 
lower
 
chambers; and
 
the
 
muscle
 
surrounding
 
the
 
lower
 
right
 
chamber
 
becomes
 
overly
 
thickened. Total
 
 
 
 
anomalous
 
 
 
 
pulmonary
 
 
 
 
venous

(TAPVC)

 
defect
 
in
 
the
 
veins
 
leading
 
from
 
the
 
lungs
 
to
 
the
 
heart.
