Congenital heart disease involves the malformation of the heart during fetal development. Many forms of congenital heart disease have specific anatomical deviations associated specifically with that condition.

Anatomy of a Congenital Heart Disease

There are many anatomical variations that arise involving congenital heart disease. The following congenital heart diseases each have unique anatomical formations:

• Aortic stenosis
• Atrial septal defect
• Atrioventricular canal
• Coarctation of aorta
• Patent ductus arteriosus
• Tetralogy of fallot
• Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
• Tricuspid atresia
• Transposition of the great arteries
• Truncus arteriosus
• Ventricular septal defect
