in #steemstem6 years ago

Thanks for writing up an article to explain the famous tetralogy of fallot. very well written and easy to understand. The ductus arteriosus is thought to be a pathological connection actually plays a role in some congenital heart diseases in maintaining the oxygen supply in the blood stream.

Thanks for the feedback @soulesque. You were right, in some cases, PDA is an important vessel to keep someone alive. I would be writing about Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA) somewhere in the future.

Yeah TGA relies heavily on PDA. Without the connection, the baby is a goner. Thanks for the "refresher course" hahaha. I need it for the exams
