Definition:a right-to-left shunt allows the deoxygenated, systemic venous return to bypass the lungs and return directly to the systemic arterial circulation; the oxygen content of the systemic arterial blood falls in proportion to the volume of systemic venous blood mixing with the normal pulmonary venous return; with reduced oxygen content, even with normal cardiac output, tissue oxygen delivery falls and the work capacity of muscles is limited
Synonyms:exact_synonym: R-L shunt;   right-to-left shunting
