[PDF] atrial septal defect shunt direction

Usually, atrial septal defects result in a left-to-right shunt (Figure 1). Schematic representation of the systemic and pulmonary circulations, in case of a large atrial septal defect. Atrial shunt occurs mostly during end systole and the beginning of diastole.

  • Is ASD a left-to-right shunt?

    Normally, blood cannot flow between the two upper heart chambers. However, an ASD allows this to happen. When blood flows between the two heart chambers, this is called a shunt. Blood most often flows from the left to the right side.

  • What is the direction of atrial septal defect?

    In atrial septal defect, there is usually higher pressure in the left atrium compared to right atrium, thus blood flows (or shunts) from left to right.

  • Which direction is the shunt for Acyanotic heart disease?

    Acyanotic congenital heart diseases or left-to-right shunting lesions are the most common form of congenital heart disease. Although most resolve spontaneously, many will remain hemodynamically significant, particularly in the premature infant.
  • Key Points. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an opening in the interventricular septum, causing a left-to-right shunt.
