How is a ventricular septal defect different from an atrial septal defect?
Ventricular septal defect affects the ventricles common in babies with down syndrome while atrial septal defect is affecting the atrium.
What is the most common type of atrial septal defect?
occurs in the middle of the atrial septum and accounts for about 70% of all atrial septal defects. Abnormal openings can form in the upper and lower parts of the atrial septum as well.
Scientific name for hole in heart?
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.
What are the different types of congenital heart disease in adults?
The different types of congenital heart disease in adults are - Atrial septal defects, both secundum and primum, with closure often achieved with outpatient catheter-based techniques. - Ventricular septal defects. - Coarctation of the aorta. - Valvular defects. - Tetralogy of Fallot.
What causes ventricular septal defect?
Congenital heart defects are errors in the development of the heart structure.
Which is the most common congenital heart defect in people with Down syndrome?
septum primum-type atrial septal defect due to endocardial cushion defects
What are the four defects in tetralogy of fallot?
Pulmonary Atresia (or Pulmonary Stenosis) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Ventricular Septal Defect Overriding Aorta
When do atrial septal defects occur?
Abnormal openings in the atrial septum occur during fetal development and are twice as common in females as in males. These abnormalities can go unnoticed if the opening is small, producing no abnormal symptoms
What is a congenital anomaly?
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.
What the medical term for been born with a hole in her heart?
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.
Can atrial septal defect be treated with medication?
No. Currently, there are no medication treatment options for atrial septal defect.
What are septal defects?
hearts with septal defects (holes between pumping chambers)
