A 6-month-old infant presents to the clinic with failure to thrive, a history of frequent respiratory infections, and increasing exhaustion during feedings. On physical examination, a systolic murmur is detected, no central cyanosis, and chest radiography reveals cardiomegaly. An echocardiogram is done that shows left-to-right shunting. This assessment data is characteristic of what?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is ventricular septal failure

Explanation:

With a ventricular septal defect a heart failure is expected, compromising the infant to thrive.

With this limitation we have easy exhaustion during eating and other activities, and also an ease in contracting  respiratory infection.

For this problem there is a very characteristic murmur.

As for the other defects there is no deviation from left to right.
