The provided transcript is in Russian and discusses fetal and newborn circulation, specifically focusing on the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The summary below is translated and structured according to the specified requirements.

Fetal Circulation vs. Postnatal Circulation
📌 In the fetus, blood bypasses the lungs via the ductus arteriosus (Botall's duct), creating a right-to-left shunt because pulmonary resistance is high.
🩸 Blood from the upper and lower halves enters the right atrium, passes to the right ventricle, and then enters the pulmonary trunk, with most blood shunted through the ductus arteriosus into the aorta.
🌬️ After the first breath and lung expansion, pulmonary vascular resistance drops rapidly, leading to a shift where blood prefers the low-resistance pulmonary circuit.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
⚠️ Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect where the ductus arteriosus fails to close normally within the first few weeks of life.
🔄 In PDA, blood flows from the aorta (high pressure) to the pulmonary artery (lower pressure)—a left-to-right shunt—instead of closing.
🗣️ This shunt causes blood to enter the lungs unnecessarily, leading to an increased volume load in the pulmonary circulation.

Physiological Consequences of PDA
❤️ The extra volume returning to the left side of the heart causes volume overload and dilation of the left atrium and left ventricle, potentially leading to aortic root dilation.
📉 The stroke volume delivered to the systemic circulation (periphery) is reduced by the amount of blood shunted into the pulmonary artery.
🌊 The resulting aortic blood flow becomes pulsatile, resembling the characteristics seen in aortic valve insufficiency.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Normally, the ductus arteriosus closes shortly after birth as pulmonary pressures fall relative to systemic pressures.
➡️ Failure to close results in a left-to-right shunt, redirecting oxygenated blood back into the pulmonary artery.
➡️ The core issue in PDA is the increased volume load on the pulmonary circuit that should only be active postnatally.
