defects such as ASD or VSD. Too little blood reaching the lungs also cause many defects. Tricuspid atresia and pulmonary atresia are defects that fall under this category. Tricuspid atresia is categorized due to decreased pulmonary circulation and cyanosis from lack of oxygen. The tricuspid valve, an important component structure of the heart, is blocked and hinders blood from leaving the right atrium to the right ventricle. In the case of pulmonary atresia, the pulmonary valve is incapable of…
