An ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) occurs when then atrial septum near the atrioventricular valves has a communication between the two atrium causing a left to right shunt. This rarely ...

An atrial septal defect is an opening or hole in the wall that sits between the heart’s two upper chambers. The heart’s upper chambers are called the right and left atria. Some people refer to atrial ...

An atrial septal defect of the secundum type is relatively common and occurs from failure of the septum secundum to develop. This results in a communication between the left and right atrium directly ...

Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) comprise a spectrum of congenital heart malformations characterised by a deficiency of the atrioventricular septum, often resulting in a common atrioventricular ...

This paper presents serial cardiac-catheterization data showing spontaneous functional closure of large symptomatic defects in 3 infants. One had an associated moderate-sized patent ductus arteriosus ...

DEFECTS of the interauricular septum in the human being carry a variable prognosis. Small openings are known to be tolerated rather well through a long span of life. Large defects give left-to-right ...

An atrial septal defect is an opening in the wall that separates the upper chambers of the heart. It is one of the most common congenital heart defects, which are structural problems that develop ...

An atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a condition in which there is a hole between the chambers of the left and right sides of the heart. Additionally, the valves between the chambers may not ...
