This wall is called the atrial septum. This type of affects the lower part of the wall between the upper heart chambers. It might occur with other heart problems present at birth. Sinus venosus.
Do adolescent and adult patients with Isolated atrial septal defects benefit?
Patients with isolated atrial septal defects (ASDs) have benefited from important recent advances in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of their conditions. This review will focus on adolescent and adult patients with sizeable ASDs who do not have other major associated cardiac defects.
Can a large atrial septal defect damage the heart and lungs?
A large, long-term atrial septal defect can damage the heart and lungs. Surgery may be needed to repair an atrial septal defect and to prevent complications. This is the most common type of . It occurs in the middle of the wall between the upper heart chambers. This wall is called the atrial septum.
Overview
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a heart condition that you're born with. That means it's a congenital heart defect. People with an ASDhave a hole between the upper heart chambers. The hole increases the amount of blood going through the lungs. Small atrial septal defects might be found by chance and never cause a concern. Others might close during
Symptoms
A baby born with an atrial septal defect (ASD) may not have symptoms. Symptoms may begin in adulthood. Atrial septal defect symptoms may include: 1. Shortness of breath, especially when exercising. 2. Tiredness, especially with activity. 3. Swelling of the legs, feet or belly area. 4. Irregular heartbeats, also called arrhythmias. 5. Skipped heartb
Causes
The cause of atrial septal defect is not clear. The problem affects the structure of the heart. It happens as the baby's heart is forming during pregnancy. The following may play a role in the cause of congenital heart defects such as atrial septal defect: 1. Changes in genes. 2. Some medical conditions. 3. Certain medicines. 4. Smoking. 5. Alcohol
Risk Factors
Atrial septal defect (ASD) occurs as the baby's heart is forming during pregnancy. It is a congenital heart defect. Things that may increase a baby's risk of atrial septal defect or other heart problems present at birth include: 1. German measles, also called rubella, during the first few months of pregnancy. 2. Diabetes. 3. Lupus. 4. Alcohol or to
Complications
A small atrial septal defect might never cause any concern. Small atrial septal defects often close during infancy. Larger atrial septal defects can cause serious complications, including: 1. Right-sided heart failure. 2. Irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. 3. Stroke. 4. Early death. 5. High blood pressure in the lung arteries, called pulmona
Prevention
Because the cause of atrial septal defect (ASD) is not clear, prevention may not be possible. But getting good prenatal care is important. If you were born with an ASD, make an appointment for a health checkup before becoming pregnant. During this visit: 1. Talk about current health conditions and medicines.It's important to closely control diabete
