An abnormal opening or hole in the septum between the right and left atria. Normally, the flow of blood will be from left to right (left to right shunt). Blood flow from right to left (right to left shunt) will be present only if there are other complicating conditions leading to a higher pressure on the right side, such as pulmonary stenosis or tricuspid atresia, which impede or prevent the normal flow of blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
(ASD) abnormal opening or hole in the septum between right and left atria. Normally allows left to right blood shunting, though additional cardiac abnormalities causing higher right side pressure (pulmonary stenosis or tricuspid atresia) allow right to left blood shunting.

An opening between the upper two chambers of the heart.
ASD - a hole in the wall between the atria
an abnormal opening between the left and right atria of the heart
a congenital abnormality of the heart where there is residual communication between the right and left atria of the heart
a congenital heart defect where the wall between the right and left atria does not close properly, leaving a hole between the two atria
a defect of the septum that connects the two atria of the heart
a hole between the two atria, or upper chambers, of the heart
a hole in the wall between the right and left atria
a hole (or defect) in the wall between the left atrium and the right atrium
an abnormal opening between the heart's upper chambers
an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) that separates the top chambers of the heart (atria)
an opening in the atrial septum, or dividing wall between the two upper chambers of the heart known as the right and left atria
An inherited condition where there is no closure of the foramen ovale at birth, resulting in congenital heart disease. Usually asymptomatic until the third or fourth decades of life.
A congenital defect in the atrial septum.
The septum is a wall that separates the heart's left and right sides. Septal defects are sometimes called a "hole" in the heart. A defect between the heart's two upper chambers (the atria) is called an atrial septal defect (ASD).
An abnormal opening in the wall ( septum) between the two atria.
Normally there is a wall or "septum" between the right and left atrium, the upper, low-pressure chambers of the heart. When there is a hole in that wall allowing blood to flow both directions it is called an atrial septal defect or"ASD".
Hole in the heart...a residual communication between the two upper heart chambers. In most hearts, the flow is from the red side towards the blue (or right) side of the heart. This causes overload of the right heart, but is usually well tolerated. There are several varieties of ASDs depending on the location and associated abnormalities. Repair is by direct suture closure or patch closure.
An inherited condition where an opening exists between the heart's two upper chambers. This allows oxygenated blood from the left atrium to return via the hole to the right atrium instead of flowing along its normal path to the left ventricle and then the body.
A hole or similar defect, present from birth and found in the wall of the heart’s atrium
(ASD) — an opening in the wall separating the left atrium from the right atrium, allowing crossover of blood.
a hole located in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart
A congenital heart defect leaving an opening between the left and right atria
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a form of congenital heart disease that enables blood flow between the left and right atria via the interatrial septum. The interatrial septum is the tissue that divides the right and left atria. Without this septum, or if there is a defect in this septum, it is possible for blood to travel from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, or from the right side of the heart to the left side of the heart.
