Term
Shunting of PDA
Definition
left to right or right to left ( dogs with large defects may develop severe hypertension-> shunting of unoxygenated blood to systemic circulation causing hypoxia, increasing erythropoetin by the kidneys, red cells from bone marrow and developing polycythaenia and neurological signs sometimes.
