In animals such as Alligators or Turtles, the intercardiac shunt is a section of the heart that allows them to not have to breathe underwater for days at a time. Exactly how, i don't know.
A TEE is a transesophageal echo, which is a diagnostic test. A cardiac shunt is a separate thing altogether, as it is surgery. Perhaps they performed a TEE and as a result, felt there was a need to proceed further and explore the need for a shunt?

Myocardial systole means heart contraction.
The intra-aortic balloon pump inflates during diastole to increase coronary artery perfusion and cardiac output, and deflates during systole to reduce afterload on the heart.
The CPT code for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion is 92987. This code specifically refers to the insertion of an intra-aortic balloon for temporary support of the heart in patients with certain cardiac conditions. It's important to ensure that the code is applied correctly based on the specific clinical scenario and documentation.
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)

An Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) helps in cardiac care by providing temporary mechanical support to a weakened heart. It enhances coronary blood flow and reduces the heart’s workload, allowing it to pump more efficiently. The balloon inflates during diastole to increase oxygen-rich blood supply to the heart muscle and deflates before systole to lower afterload, easing the effort needed for each heartbeat. This process stabilizes blood pressure, improves cardiac output, and ensures vital organs receive adequate oxygen. The IABP is especially valuable in treating cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, and postoperative cardiac recovery.
