Atrial septal defect

What is an Atrial Septal Defect? Atrial Septal Defect (or ASP for short and also known as “Hole in the Heart”) is one of the many heart defects where there is a hole in the dividing wall between the atria. This syndrome occurs at birth. Minor cases of ASD are easy to treat. In most cases, the hole repairs by itself so you would not notice that you even had such a defect. In severe cases , surgery has to follow, if not, it can be fatal. I will be explaining how ASD affects the circulatory system

As a baby develops in the womb, a wall (septum) forms that divides the upper chamber into a left and right atrium... an abnormal formation of this wall can result in a defect that remains after birth. This is called an atrial septal defect, or ASD (Medline Plus, 2016). Atrial Septal Defect or ASD is a kind of congenital heart disease that already exists since birth; and this disease is malfunctioning because there is a hole between the upper parts of the heart- the one that is

Cardiovascular Case Study Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) is a very large problem concerning the heart in its overall function. When the heart, being the core of the cardiovascular system, has issues; it effects the rest of the body as a result. The core of the problem resides in the atrial septum. Normally the heart is divided into four separate chambers. But a person with atrial septal defect has an atrial septum that allows the blood from the left side of the heart back into the right side. This

Atrial Septal Defect Atrial septal defect is a hole in the wall, or septum, that divides the upper chambers of the heart, which are called atria. Usually most children who develop ASP are fine because the hole either repairs itself or is too small to cause any trouble later on in life. If the septum is flawed, oxygen deficient blood can flow directly from the right side of the heart and combine with oxygen-rich blood in the left side of the heart, or vice versa. Therefore oxygen levels in the arterial

are born with Atrial Septal Defect. People who have this disorder are dealing with this everyday of their life. Since Atrial Septal Defect is a heart condition, the symptoms and treatment have an impact on everyday life. Atrial Septal Defect is a common and interesting disorder. Atrial Septal Defect is mostly know as “a hole in the heart.” This disorder is birth defect. It can happen to male, female, adult, and kids. This disorder mostly happens to kids and infant. Atrial Septal Defect is when there

When most people hear broken heart they think a bad breakup right? Well that’s not the only way broken heart can be used, it can also be used a literal sense, like when talking about an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). An Atrial Septal Defect is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart. There are symptoms and ways to diagnose ASD. Also what happens if you do not treat ASD. There are many ways to treat ASD. Most people with ASD do not show symptoms and seem as if they are healthy

ATRIAL AND VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS Yulissa R. De Leon June 26, 2016 BS-104-ME1 Dr. Ali Saleh A ventricular septal defect or VSD is a heart defect. It’s congenital, this means that a baby is born with it. It is an opening or hole in the dividing wall called the Septum, between the two lower chambers of the heart, right and left ventricles. Ventricular septal defects are the most common type of congenital heart defects. A VSD allows oxygen-rich blood to pass from the left ventricle through

Atrial septal defect(ASD) is a common congenital heart disease with a female-to-male ratio of approximately 2:1.The most common type of Atrial Septal Defect is a secundum defect which is characterized by a defect in the inter atrial septum which allows pulmonary venous return from the left atrium to pass directly to the right atrium. Normally the patients with Atrial Septal Defect remain asymptomatic up to third or fourth decade of life and in the middle age some clinical symptoms can be observed

Heart Diseases Atrial Septal Defect Body System Atrial Septal Defect affects the cardiovascular system of a person’s heart and affects a person’s life. The understanding of the heart and the process it completes in our bodies. As we look into the difference of what the heart does and the challenges you go through when your heart is not healthy. When we our born we our born with heart murmur’s in which they are supposed to close throughout your growing process. Atrial Septsl Defect is a hole in

Atrial Septal defect is the most common form of atrial heart defect that occurs when the atrium septum fails to form properly. It is a congenital defect that creates an opening between the two chambers (right and left atrium). During regular septum development in a fetus, the septum primum tissue between the left and right atria grows downward slowly creating two separate chambers and exposes a gap (ostium primum, “first opening”). The septum primum then fuses with the endocardial cushion and the
