Double Outlet Right Ventricle

Its evaluation is handled by the cardiologist and the pediatric cardiologist, with support from the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, while the pediatrician usually identifies the first signs. Double outlet right ventricle is a congenital heart defect in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise, totally or partially, from the right ventricle of the heart.

How it presents: Depending on the type, it may be associated with bluish coloring of the skin, difficulty breathing, fatigue during feeding, or poor weight gain in babies.

When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when a child shows these signs or when a murmur is detected during an exam.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your baby, presenting the case to these specialists allows the necessary heart studies to be defined.
