AB Cyanosis  is  the  most  common  manifestation  of  symptomatic  cardiovascular  disease  in  the  newborn  infant.  Moreover,  cyanosis  in  the  absence  of  significant  respiratory  distress  is  almost  always  caused  by  structural  cardiovascular  disease  because  pulmonary  disease  severe  enough  to  cause  cyanosis  is  usually  associated  with  severe  respiratory  distress.  Congenital  cardiovascular  defects  that  cause  primarily  cyanosis  in  newborn  infants  are  reviewed  in  this  chapter.  Infants  who  have  decreased  systemic  perfusion  as  the  primary  symptom,  even  if  cyanosis  is  also  present,  are  discussed  in  Chapter  8.
