Ventricular septal defect affects the ventricles common in babies with Down syndrome while atrial septal defect is affecting the atrium.
The scientific name for a hole in the heart is a "ventricular septal defect (VSD)" or an "atrial septal defect (ASD)", depending on the location of the hole.
The term 'hole-in-the-heart' usually means that there is a defect in the wall between two of the heart's chambers. If the defect is between the atria the condition is called an atrial septal defect or ASD and if the hole between the ventricles is known as a ventricular septal defect or VSD.
The congenital anomaly refers to the anomalies of the heart. It basically includes the ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. It commonly affects the infants.
No. Currently, there are no medication treatment options for atrial septal defect.
An atrial septal defect is a MECHANICAL problem of the heart, a structural defect in the heart itself. With that being said, the answer is no. Usually a defect is corrected by surgical intervention.
ventricular septal defect
You can donate the blood with ventricular septal defect. But then you should not donate the same. You need to be given a bravery award for this attempt only.
Yes. A heart murmur is caused by a AVSD (Atrioventricular Septal Defect; a hole between the atria and between the ventricals) , VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect; as AVSD but just the ventricals) or an ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Also it could be caused with valve stenois
during the preschool years
Ventricular Septal Defect
O An atrial septal defect is sometimes called a hole in the heart it is a type of congenital heart defect, when there is an abnormal opening in the dividing wall between the upper filling chambers of the heart.
