Secundum atrial septal defect
A 20-year-old woman presented for evaluation of palpitations and one episode of near syncope after exertion. Her past medical history was remarkable only for a diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma. She was involved in competitive sports at her University, participating on the track team. She denied any chest discomfort, dyspnea at rest, or perceived exercise limitation. She had never had lower ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Secundum Atrial Septal Defect and Associated Findings
The goal of this chapter is to review data regarding the current prevalence estimates for secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) and to give the reader a sense as to how these prevalence data compare relative to other common cardiac defects. This chapter will also review the current understanding of cardiac and non-cardiac findings known to be associated with secundum ASD. It is recognized th...
متن کاملPhonocardiographic analysis of diastolic flow murmurs in secundum atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.
The presence oflow frequency diastolic murmurs, presumably due to increased flow through the respective atrio-ventricular valves, has been recognized in patients with atrial and ventricular septal defects for many years. The murmur in ventricular septal defect was reported by Laubry and Pezzi in 1921 and emphasized by Wood (1950). A publication from this institute drew attention to this phenome...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect in the elderly.
Background and Objectives: With the exception of bicuspid aortic valves, atrial septal defects (ASDs) are the most common congenital heart lesions found in adults. A mortality and morbidity benefit has clearly been demonstrated in the treatment of this lesion in younger patients. However, the benefits of ASD closure are less well defined in the elderly. We report our experience with transcathet...
متن کاملUnusual clinical presentations of secundum atrial septal defect.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies found in the adult population. Although usually asymptomatic in childhood, ASD will be symptomatic in approximately 75 percent of adults. The most common symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, and palpitations. However, the presentation of ASD can be protean. We present four patients with secundum ASD with...
