2. Atrial septal defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septal_defect

   As a group, atrial septal defects are detected in one child per 1500 live births. PFOs are quite common (appearing in 10–20% of adults), but when asymptomatic go undiagnosed. ASDs make up 30 to 40% of all congenital heart diseases that are seen in adults. [58] The ostium secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 7% of all congenital heart ...

3. Cardiac shunt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_shunt

   A left-to-right shunt is when blood from the left side of the heart goes to the right side of the heart. This can occur either through a hole in the ventricular or atrial septum that divides the left and the right heart or through a hole in the walls of the arteries leaving the heart, called great vessels.

4. Trilogy of Fallot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilogy_of_Fallot

   An atrial septal defect is a hole in the septum that divides the right and left atria (the upper two chambers) of the heart. In the heart of a developing fetus, there are several holes between the atria, however these are expected to close before birth. This congenital condition arises if one of these holes remains. [6]

5. Atrioventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septal_defect

   When holes form between the chambers, as in AVSD, the pools can mix. Consequently, arterial blood supplies become less oxygenated than normal, causing ischemia and cyanosis in distal tissues. [ 3 ] To compensate, the heart must pump a larger volume of blood to deliver enough oxygen, leading to cardiac enlargement and hypertrophy .

6. Congenital heart defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_heart_defect

   A congenital heart defect (CHD), also known as a congenital heart anomaly, congenital cardiovascular malformation, and congenital heart disease, is a defect in the structure of the heart or great vessels that is present at birth. [7] A congenital heart defect is classed as a cardiovascular disease. [10]

7. Atrial septostomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septostomy

   Atrial septostomy is a surgical procedure in which a small hole is created between the upper two chambers of the heart, the atria.This procedure is primarily used to palliate dextro-Transposition of the great arteries or d-TGA (often imprecisely called transposition of the great arteries), a life-threatening cyanotic congenital heart defect seen in infants.

9. Right-to-left shunt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_shunt

   right heart pressure is higher than left heart pressure and/or the shunt has a one-way valvular opening. Small physiological, or "normal", shunts are seen due to the return of bronchial artery blood and coronary blood through the Thebesian veins , which are deoxygenated, to the left side of the heart.
