    Systemic-pulmonary vascular connections, or shunts, are more common than previously thought in adults. Recognizing these abnormal circulatory pathways is clinically important for diagnosis and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Medical Physiology

    Background:

    • Normal circulatory pathways involve distinct pulmonary and systemic circuits.
    • Pathological conditions can lead to abnormal connections between these systems.

    Observation:

    • Systemic-pulmonary vascular connections occur more frequently than previously recognized.
    • These connections are observed in the adult population.

    Findings:

    • The spectrum of systemic-pulmonary vascular connections is reviewed.
    • Illustrative cases highlight the recognition of these phenomena.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of these connections is crucial for clinical diagnosis.
    • Understanding these pathways can inform patient management and treatment strategies.
