Description: Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.

OxygenIBA 03/01/1989 - "Eleven patients without evidence of an interatrial shunt were examined during normal respiration and during the Valsalva maneuver and contrasted with five patients with an atrial septal defect documented by oxygen saturation step-up and echocardiographic studies" 11/01/2008 - "Among 19 neonates, a larger atrial septal defect was associated with higher oxygen saturation and less need for intervention prior to surgical single-ventricle palliation" 01/01/2008 - "A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated right atrial and ventricular dilatation, right ventricular volume overload, and a large secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with left to right shunt and a calculated pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) estimated at 2.3 to 1. Cardiac catheterization also demonstrated evidence of the ASD with Qp/Qs of 4.6 to 1 with a significant step-up in oxygen saturation at the right atrial level" 06/01/2006 - "At a median follow up of three years (range 0.5-5) all but one patient with a residual atrial septal defect had normal oxygen saturation at rest and during exercise" 03/01/2005 - "The size of the atrial septal defect increased from 1.8 +/- 0.8 mm to 5.8 +/- 1.3 mm (P < 0.0001) and oxygen arterial saturation from 64.5 +/- 18.9% to 85.1 +/- 9.2% (P < 0.0001)" Order ALL the reference details at left...
