What is the disease of right atrium?
Diseases of the right atrium can include conditions such as atrial septal defect (ASD), which is a congenital heart defect where there is a hole in the wall separating the two atria, leading to abnormal blood flow. Another common issue is atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia that can originate in the right atrium, causing irregular heartbeats and increasing the risk of stroke. Additionally, right atrial enlargement can occur due to conditions like pulmonary hypertension or heart failure, affecting the heart's overall function.
In atrial septum defect primum why the blood shunt from left to right atrium?
In the atrial defect primum, the blood shunt from the left to the right because of the blood volume overload from the right.
What common tumors are found in the cardiovascular system and the integumentary system?
Common tumors found in the cardiovascular system include cardiac myxoma, angiosarcoma, and atrial septal defect. In the integumentary system, common tumors include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
What is most likely to happen to a baby born with a hole in the septum between the right and the left ventricles?
Such a condition used to be fatal years ago, but modern medicine is doing some amazing things to repair certain kinds of congenital heart defects, even in babies. Of course, not every heart defect can be cured, but great progress is being made in treating atrial septal and ventricular septal defects. I enclose a link to the National Institute of Health, which discusses such cases and what can be done for children born with this condition.
What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?
The absence of a P wave on an EKG could indicate an issue with the electrical impulse formation in the atria of the heart, such as in atrial fibrillation where the atria are not depolarizing in a coordinated manner. Other possible causes include atrial flutter, junctional rhythm, or ectopic atrial beats. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
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.
Can atrial septal defect be treated with medication?
No. Currently, there are no medication treatment options for atrial septal defect.
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.
Can a person who has atrial septal defect can that person take medication for it?
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.
When was atrial septal defect diagnosed?
during the preschool years
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.
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.
When do symptoms of an atrial septal defect begin to occur?
People born with an atrial septal defect can have no symptoms through their twenties, but by age 40, most people with this condition have symptoms that can include shortness of breath, rapid abnormal beating of the atria
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.
Which is the most common congenital heart defect in people with Down syndrome?
septum primum-type atrial septal defect due to endocardial cushion defects
Can a heart murmur be the result of a seizure?
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
What is the THE BIRTH DEFECT OF A hole in the heart between the upper chambers?
The upper chambers of the heart are called atria, and the wall that separates them is called the atrial septum. Thus a defect in that wall is called an atrial septal defect. They are not uncommon, and can run in families and be associated with genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
