Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the septum (wall) separating the two upper chambers of your heart. It’s one of the most common causes of adult congenital heart disease. Atrial septal defects are often identified and repaired during childhood, but many people don’t develop symptoms of a septal defect until adulthood.

 

An adult who’s newly diagnosed with an atrial septal defect will often require either a surgical or catheter-based intervention to repair the defect.

 

In addition, an adult with a repaired atrial septal defect will need continued, specialized follow-up to monitor for additional long-term complications, such as arrhythmias.
