It requires medical intervention and surgical correction to ensure proper blood flow and heart function.



Truncus Arteriosus is a congenital heart defect that occurs during fetal development. It is not a contagious condition, meaning it cannot be transmitted from one person to another. Truncus Arteriosus is a rare condition where the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the body, called the truncus arteriosus, fails to divide into two separate vessels as it should.



This condition is present at birth and is typically diagnosed shortly after. It requires medical intervention and often surgical correction to ensure proper blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body. Truncus Arteriosus is not caused by any infectious agent or external factor, but rather results from abnormal development of the heart during pregnancy.



While Truncus Arteriosus is not contagious, it is important to note that certain genetic factors or environmental influences may increase the risk of a baby being born with this condition. It is advisable for parents with a family history of congenital heart defects or other risk factors to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate guidance and monitoring during pregnancy.
