Aortopulmonary Window treatment in Mexicali

Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon congenital heart condition in which there is an abnormal opening between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, the two great arteries that leave the heart. This changes the way blood circulates to the lungs.

How it can show up: In infants it may be noticed as rapid breathing, fatigue while feeding, sweating, poor weight gain, or frequent respiratory infections.

When should you seek care? It is a good idea to evaluate a baby who tires while feeding, breathes with difficulty, or is not growing as expected.

Who handles it? The pediatric cardiologist, along with the cardiologist, is the one who diagnoses and follows up on it, with the support of the pediatrician. If your baby shows these signs, seeing these specialists soon helps to define the most appropriate plan.
