who has the patient with the single A-V value, like the question here? could you tell me a little of background information. thanks

A 20 year old man has reduced exercise tolerance, but is able to perform activities of daily living. An echcoardiogram shows that he has a single atrioventricular valve. Which of the following additional structural abnormalities allowed him to live to this age: A 20 year old man has reduced exercise tolerance, but is able to perform activities of daily living.

Well, it is probably a VSD, assuming all chambers are there...if he only had three chambers I would say a persistent truncus arteriosus, but likely he would not live that long.
