Main Symptoms of Cardiac Intervention

“Cardiac intervention” isn’t a disease—it’s a group of procedures (angioplasty, stent, ablation, etc.). The “symptoms” patients feel are usually post-procedure changes or early warning signs that something went wrong. Knowing the difference between normal soreness and an emergency call is key. Groin or wrist ache is typical. The access site feels like a deep bruise for a few days; pain that ramps up means bleeding or clot. Pulsing lump at the puncture spot can appear. A small, soft swelling is normal; a growing, hard mass needs ultrasound check. Chest pressure that returns is the big red flag. If the same... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) sends all oxygen-rich lung blood to the wrong place—usually a vein behind the heart instead of the left atrium. A baby can survive only while a small fetal tunnel stays open, so symptoms explode in the first days of life. Blue color is the first clue. Lips, tongue, fingers, and toes look dusky or deep purple, especially when the baby cries or feeds. Fast, labored breathing is constant. The infant uses more breaths per minute and may grunt with each exhale. Poor feeding and sweating appear early. Babies tire at the bottle, fall asleep... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect

Complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) is a large hole in the center of the heart combined with one shared valve instead of two separate ones. Blood swirls in the wrong directions, so symptoms start early and snowball fast. Blue color is the first clue. Lips, tongue, fingers, and toes look dusky or deep purple, especially when the baby cries or feeds. Fast, labored breathing is constant. The infant uses more breaths per minute and may grunt with each exhale. Poor feeding and sweating appear early. Babies tire at the bottle, fall asleep quickly, and bead sweat on the forehead. Heart... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Complete Transposition of the Great Arteries

Complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) means the two main heart vessels are wired backward: oxygen-poor blood keeps circling to the body and oxygen-rich blood to the lungs. The mix-up is total, so symptoms start within hours of birth and snowball fast. Blue color is the first clue. Lips, tongue, fingers, and toes look dusky or deep purple, especially when the baby cries or feeds. Fast, labored breathing is constant. The infant uses more breaths per minute and may grunt with each exhale. Poor feeding and sweating appear early. Babies tire at the bottle, fall asleep quickly, and bead... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Transposition of the Great Arteries

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a birth defect in which the two main heart vessels are swapped: oxygen-poor blood keeps looping to the body and oxygen-rich blood to the lungs. Symptoms start within hours of birth and snowball fast. Blue color is the first clue. Lips, tongue, fingers, and toes look dusky or deep purple, especially when the baby cries or feeds. Fast, labored breathing is constant. The infant uses more breaths per minute and may grunt with each exhale. Poor feeding and sweating appear early.
