Atrioventricular septal defect - what does this mean
Atrioventricular septal defect (avsd) is a congenital heart defect that occurs when there is an abnormal opening between the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) and the two lower chambers (the ventricles). this allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, resulting in a decrease in oxygenated blood to the body.
What happens during the disease - atrioventricular septal defect
Atrioventricular septal defect (avsd) is a congenital heart defect that results from a failure of the septum primum and septum secundum to form properly during fetal development, resulting in an abnormal communication between the atria and ventricles. this can lead to an abnormal flow of blood between the two sides of the heart, which can cause a range of symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and cyanosis.

Atrioventricular septal defect - Prevention
The primary prevention of atrioventricular septal defect is to ensure that pregnant women get adequate prenatal care and nutrition, avoid exposure to environmental toxins, and take folic acid supplements. in addition, if the defect is detected prenatally, fetal interventions may be available to improve the prognosis.
