An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a cardiac malformation, in which an opening between chambers in the heart did not properly close following birth.  This can be very problematic because it lowers oxygen levels in the blood; this happens as a result of oxygen deficient blood mixing with oxygen rich blood before being pumped out…

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a rare malformation of the heart in which there is an opening between two chambers of the heart.  Typically, this opening closes after birth; ASD is when the opening fails to close.  As a result, people with ASD have abnormally low blood oxygen levels because blood oxygen rich blood is…

Many treatments have been created to remedy Atrial Septal Defects (ASD).  An ASD is a condition of the heart characterized by an opening between the left and right atria.  This opening between the two heart chambers can lead to low blood oxygen levels, as deoxygenated blood is not properly kept separated from oxygen…

An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a cardiovascular birth malformation.  The condition is characterized by an opening between two chambers of the heart, the left and right atria.  This opening closes after birth in healthy individuals but may fail to close for others, thus forming an ASD.  An ASD is problematic because it causes low…
