Abstract

The majority of congenital heart defects directly or indirectly involve an alteration from normal in either the pressure or volume load on the right ventricle. There are many conditions in which pressure overload of the right ventricle reaches systemic and occasionally suprasystemic levels. Despite operation, right ventricular pressure and/or volume overload may continue to present a problem in a number of conditions, including tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and pulmonary atresia.
