TGA with intact septum: severe cyanosis and tendency metabolic acidosis with compensatory tachypnea, in the presence of inadequate blood mixing(DIA/foramen ovale restrictive. Small PDA )

Neonatal clinical emergency
Prenatal diagnosis reduces mortality and
neonatal morbidity
( Bonnet D et al: Circulation 1999)
Transposition of great arteriesClinical pictures
TGA + DIV: cyanosis and signs of heart failure (tachypnea, intercostal retractions, tachycardia, hepatomegaly, excessive sweating) appear gradually in the first days of life in relation to the reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance.

- 50% within first month,
- 70% in the first six months
- 90% by the year.
