  • What are the 4 types of atrial septal defect?

    Type 2: (membranous) This VSD is, by far the most common type, accounting for 80% of all defects. It is located in the membranous septum inferior to the crista supraventricularis. It often involves the muscular septum when it is commonly known as perimembranous.

  • Which septal defect is most common?

    ASD are usually associated with pulmonary hypertension of different degree, an increased Qp/Qs ratio and enlarged right chambers, whereas the usual findings in PFO patients is a normal or slightly elevated pulmonary pressure, normal Qp/Qs ratio, and normal right chambers.

  • What is the difference between secundum type ASD and PFO?

    Acyanotic congenital heart disease includes heart problems that develop before or at birth but do not normally interfere with the amount of oxygen or blood that reaches the body's tissues. These problems include ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
