==Shunts==
Most shunts are a consequence of congenital heart disease, which is dealt with in the [[congenital heart disease]] article.  They are only listed here briefly and grouped into ''left-to-right'' and ''right-to-left''.
===Left-to-right===
Mnemonic ''the Ds'':<ref name=Ref_PBoD566>{{Ref PBoD|566}}</ref>
*ASD = atrial septal defect.
*VSD = ventricular septal defect.
*AVSD = atrioventricular defect.
*PDA = patent ductus arteriosus.
Note: The word ''Left'' has four letters and there are four L->R shunts.
===Right-to-left===
Mnemonic ''5 Ts'':<ref name=Ref_PBoD568>{{Ref PBoD|568}}</ref>
*Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF),
*Transposition of great arteries,
*Truncus arteriosus,
*Tricuspid valve atresia,
*Total anomalous pulmonary venous return.
Clinical: TOF is the classic cause of "blue babies".
