What is the relationship between left-to-right shunt congenital heart defects and increased pulmonary blood flow? Cardiac workload is increased but pulmonary blood flow is decreased. Cardiac workload is decreased and this will decrease pulmonary blood flow. Volume overload results in the left side of the heart. This decreases pulmonary blood flow. Volume overload results in the right side of the heart and this increases pulmonary blood flow.

Volume overload results in the right side of the heart and this increases pulmonary blood flow.

Explanation:

Volume bypass from the left to the right region of the heart do leads to the right-sided volume being at an excessive amount than it ought to be. The rise in the size, amount, or degree in volume will majorly results to a rise in pulmonary blood flow.
