Cyanotic congenital heart defects cyanotic defects are defects in which blood pumped to the body contains less than normal amounts of oxygen resulting in a condition called cyanosis.

As blood flows through the lungs and heart blood that is poorly oxygenated or low in oxygen returns to the heart s right side.
