state as he had low blood pressure, generalized swelling, low oxygen
saturation, right ventricular failure and liver dysfunction.
As he had the hole in the heart since birth, the pressure in
the lungs was high and he had right ventricular dysfunction which gradually led
to leakage from mitral valve of the heart. A coronary angiogram done on him
detected blockage in the coronary artery.
