Which of the following return deoxygenated blood back to the heart?

a.

Arteries

b.

Veins

c.

Discuss
Answer: (b).They indicate a lower risk of mortalityIt indicates a higher risk of mortalityIt indicates a higher risk of mortalityIt indicates a higher risk of complicationsAll of the above. Explanation:Positive prognostic features are "Biventricular circulation," "Systemic left ventricle," "Repair at early age," and "Good functional capacity." These factors indicate a better prognosis and a lower risk of mortality."Early surgical era" is a negative prognostic factor. This indicates that patients who received treatment during the early surgical era had a higher risk of mortality."Ventricular dysfunction" is a negative prognostic factor. This indicates that patients with ventricular dysfunction have a higher risk of mortality."Complex or multiple lesions" are a negative prognostic factor. This indicates that patients with complex or multiple lesions have a higher risk of complications.The key prognostic factors while assessing Congenital Heart Disease include the size and type of defect and other associated congenital anomalies, results of investigations like ECG, 2D ECHO cardiography, pre-treatment and post-treatment hospital reports including details of surgical treatment taken, and any indications or past or present symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, as well as current follow-up reports and cardiac status.
