An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through
the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like
connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine
the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART
RATE
