Atrial septal defect - what does this mean
Atrial septal defect (asd) is a congenital heart defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). this opening allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the left atrium to the right atrium, resulting in an increased workload for the heart and an increased risk of stroke.
What happens during the disease - atrial septal defect
Atrial septal defect (asd) is a congenital heart condition in which there is a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers (atria) of the heart. this creates a left-to-right shunt, allowing oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to mix with oxygen-poor blood from the right atrium, resulting in an increased workload on the right side of the heart. over time, this can lead to an enlarged right side of the heart, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure.
