The Evaluation of Complex Shunt Lesions

  • Chapter
The Noninvasive Evaluation of Hemodynamics in Congenital Heart Disease

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 114))

  • 133 Accesses

Abstract

Complex intracardiac shunting, whether congenital or acquired often presents a difficult diagnostic challenge. The physical signs may be confusing or misleading, particularly in patients who have multiple sites where intracardiac shunting is occurring, and an accurate diagnosis cannot always be established despite cardiac catheterisation.
