| atrial septal defect |
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.
