It's time to talk about obstructive congenital heart defects! Put simply, these defects involve a physical obstruction blocking the blood from getting out to the body. The three types you need to know are: 🖤 Aortic stenosis ➡️ narrowing of the aortic valve which makes it hard for the left ventricle to eject blood out to the body 🖤 Pulmonic stenosis ➡️ narrowing of the pulmonary valve which makes it hard for the right ventricle to pump blood to the lungs (and causes hypertrophy!) 🖤 Coarctation
