• Atrial Septal Defect

  The goals were to assess the frequency of spontaneous closure of isolated secundum atrial septal defect in children and to identify predictors of spontaneous atrial septal defect closure. METHODS. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  Sex Secundum atrial septal defect occurs more commonly in females than males, with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1. Age Secundum atrial septal defect is a congenital abnormality and, therefore, is present at birth. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  atrial septal defect, and eventually a reduction in cardiac output. [jtd.amegroups.com]

  Terms used to describe defect location include secundum, primum and sinus venosus atrial septal defects. Secundum atrial septal defects account for 80% of atrial septal defects and are located near the middle of the atrial septum. [mottchildren.org]

• Asymptomatic

  Most patients are asymptomatic but as cardiac failure develops they may present with shortness of breath, palpitations and weakness 7. [radiopaedia.org]

  The athlete was asymptomatic, with no family history of cardio-respiratory diseases and cardio-respiratory examination at rest proved normal. [minervamedica.it]

  Asymptomatic children with a small shunt require only observation and occasional echocardiography (typically about every 3 to 5 yr). [msdmanuals.com]

  The patient was discharged from hospital asymptomatically; nevertheless, on postoperative day 25 the patient re-applied to the emergency department with congestive heart failure symptoms. [omicsonline.org]

  BACKGROUND: Atrial septal defect (ASD) can be recognized in adult age, mostly in asymptomatic or scarcely symptomatic patients. [rwjms1.umdnj.edu]

• Surgical Procedure

  For 6 months following catheterization or surgical closure of an ASD, antibiotics are recommended before routine dental work or surgical procedures to prevent infective endocarditis (an infection of the inner surface of the heart). [kidshealth.org]

  Discussion Cardiac invasive intervention and alternative surgical procedures are potential risk factors for iASD occurrence. [omicsonline.org]

  Standard Therapies Treatment Treatment is usually surgical with the use of medications limited to the period during which the patient waits for a surgical procedure. [rarediseases.org]

• Dyspnea

  Adults and, rarely, adolescents may present with exercise intolerance, dyspnea, fatigue, and atrial arrhythmias. A soft midsystolic murmur at the upper left sternal border with wide and fixed splitting of the 2nd heart sound (S2) is common. [merckmanuals.com]

  Upon follow up at 1 month, she reported improvement in her symptoms of exertional dyspnea and fatigue, which continued to improve to minimal limitation over the 3-year follow-up period. [invasivecardiology.com]

  Larger shunts may cause slow weight gain in early childhood and exercise intolerance, dyspnea during exertion, fatigue, and/or palpitations in older patients. [msdmanuals.com]

  We assessed the frequency of dyspnea incidences and palpitations. [dovepress.com]

  Symptoms may, however, begin any time after birth through childhood. 5 The most common symptom of ASD is dyspnea on exertion, which for most does not occur until they are in their second or third decade of life. 4 Signs or symptoms usually begin by age [uspharmacist.com]

• Respiratory Insufficiency

  Rarely, they may cause symptoms in infancy, as failure to thrive, tachypnea, recurrent respiratory infections, heart failure, and respiratory insufficiency necessitating artificial ventilation ( 35 ). [jtd.amegroups.com]

• Failure to Thrive

  The closure of ASD must be performed in advance for young patients with congestive heart failure, frequent respiratory infection, failure to thrive, or significantly elevated pulmonary arterial pressure [5, 6]. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

• Heart Murmur

  When signs and symptoms do occur, heart murmur is the most common. A heart murmur is an extra or unusual sound heard during a heartbeat. Often, a heart murmur is the only sign of an ASD. [pedctsurgery.ucsf.edu]

  The blood flowing through the hole creates an extra noise, which is known as a heart murmur. The heart murmur can be heard when a doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope. [kidshealth.org]

  A heart murmur is an extra sound heard between heartbeats. Also, increased blood flow through the hole may make the heart get bigger. The enlarged heart can be seen on a chest X-ray or on an electrocardiogram. [kpjampang.com]

• Systolic Murmur

  Murmurs • Pulmonary ejection systolic murmur – Increased pulmonary flow • Tricuspid murmur – is heard over left sternal edge louder on inspiration • Graham-Steell murmur – of pulmonary regurgitation if pulmonary hypertension 13. • Late systolic murmur [slideshare.net]

  Typical clinical findings consisted of loud first heart sound, widely fixed split second heart sound and soft ejection systolic murmur at the upper left sternal border were heard in all cases. [paediatricaindonesiana.org]

  Chest auscultation classically reveals an ejection systolic murmur heard at the left upper sternal border, attributed to increased flow across the pulmonary valve rather than blood shunting across the defect itself 7. [radiopaedia.org]

  Auscultation typically reveals a grade 2 to 3/6 midsystolic (ejection systolic) murmur (see table Heart Murmur Intensity ) and a widely split, fixed S2 at the upper left sternal border in children. [msdmanuals.com]

  Typically, pulmonary valve stenosis has an associated systolic ejection click, the murmur of pulmonary valve stenosis tends to be more harsh than the systolic murmur associated with an ASD, and diastole is quiet. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• Cardiomegaly

  Incomplete right bundle branch block and right ventricular enlargement were found in all cases, as was cardiomegaly with increased vascular markings were found in all cases. [paediatricaindonesiana.org]

  Chest x-ray shows cardiomegaly with dilation of the right atrium and right ventricle, a prominent main pulmonary artery segment, and increased pulmonary vascular markings. [msdmanuals.com]

  In patients with haemodynamically significant ASDs cardiomegaly with enlargement of right atrium and right ventricle may be present. [patient.info]

  The next most common clues leading to a diagnosis of an ASD are an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), typically showing right ventricular hypertrophy, or an abnormal chest roentgenogram showing cardiomegaly, usually with increased vascular markings but [clinicaladvisor.com]

  Maternal diseases include phenylketonuria, pregestational diabetes, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (MTHFR deficiency), febrile illnesses, and influenza. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Dizziness

  This creates a situation where the heart's upper chambers can start to beat very rapidly causing symptoms of palpitations, dizziness, fainting, and/or undue fatigue. Another possible health problem related to an atrial septal defect is stroke. [mottchildren.org]

  Incomplete right bundle branch block and right ventricular enlargement were found in all cases, as was cardiomegaly with increased vascular markings were found in all cases. [paediatricaindonesiana.org]

  Investigations ECG ECG may be normal in infants and children with small shunts Typical findings include a tall P wave indicating right atrial enlargement, incomplete right bundle branch block pattern (rsR' in V1), and right axis deviation. [patient.info]

  A common finding in the ECG is the presence of incomplete right bundle branch block, which is so characteristic that if it is absent, the diagnosis of ASD should be reconsidered. [en.wikipedia.org]
