SpecialtyCardiology

Anacyanotic heart defect, is a class of congenital heart defects. In these, blood is shunted (flows) from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, most often due to a structural defect (hole) in the interventricular septum.[1] People often retain normal levels of oxyhemoglobin saturation in systemic circulation.[citation needed]
