Cyanotic congenital heart disease occurs when there are abnormalities in heart structure and function that allow deoxygenated blood from the systemic veins to recirculate back to the systemic circulation, causing bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes. Three types discussed are tetralogy of Fallot, which involves four defects reducing blood flow to the lungs; pulmonal atresia, where the pulmonal valve fails to form disconnecting the right ventricle from the pulmonal artery; and great artery transposition, where the blood vessels connecting the right and left ventricles are switched. Signs and symptoms as well as treatment options are provided for each type.

• Structure and function abnormalities of heart which effect all systemic
reverse vein blood flow that contain low oxygen back to systemic circulation. • Raises cyanotic symptom • Cyanotic central bluish coloring on mucose caused by reduction of haemoglobin concentration 1. Tetralogy of Fallot • Patofisiology : four defects = mixing blood, reduction of blood flow to lungs. • Sign : cynotic, dyspnea, fatigue, finger clubbing, murmur. • Treatment : medic and operative. 2. Pulmonal Atresia • Failure formation of pulmonal valve disconnect between RV with pulmonal artery • Sign and symptom : cyanotic on first day new born, murmur 3. Great Artery Transposition • Blood flow out from RV and pulmonalis artery out from LV • Sign and symptom : depends on there is an adequate blood mixing between systemic circulation and pulmonal circulation, and with or without pulmonal stenosis • Treatment : operative Mustard procedure
