A small hole between the upper heart chambers is called an atrial septal defect (ASD). It is a congenital heart defect where there is an opening in the septum that separates the left and right atria. This can lead to abnormal blood flow between the chambers, potentially causing complications such as heart enlargement or pulmonary hypertension. ASDs can vary in size and may be asymptomatic in some individuals, while others may require medical intervention.
The heart has upper and lower chambers.
The Mitral Valve is located between the Left Atrium ( Left upper chamber) and the Left Ventricle (Left lower chamber)
