Transition from fetal to pulmonary circulationTransition from fetal to pulmonary circulation
How does the circulation during fetal life differ from that of the neonate?
What leads to this transition? How do the changes of pressures and
resistance within the heart effect the foramen ovale, ductus venosus, and ductus arteriosus?
