Here are the Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease journals presenting the latest research across various disciplines. From social sciences to technology, each article is expected to provide valuable insights to our readers.
Ayanotic congenital heart disease is, in many ways, an unfortunate term and, from a diagnostic standpoint, often misleads the clinician. Acyanotic implies that the observer, whether physician or parent, does not see cyanosis in the patient. This word, from the Greek kyanosis, means a dark blue color. Much clinical confusion results from this term. Althought the patient with very low arterial oxygen saturation (less than 60 per cent with normal hemoglobin) does exhibit a dark blue color of the skin, less severe levels of arterial hypoxemia ( 60 to 85 per cent) produce a dark red rather than a blue color. This color may be misinterpreted as a "healthy hue"! Slight degrees of oxygen unsaturation of the arterial blood ( 85 to 95 per cent) may go unrecognized entirely. In dark-skinned patients the evaluation of cyanosis becomes even more difficult.
