Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS): the left side of the heart is underdeveloped–including the left ventricle, the aorta (which carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body), and the valves controling the bloodflow of the left ventrical (mitral valve, aortic valve). Excess pressure in the heart leads to an atrial septal defect and a patent ductus arteriosus.
