Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers (atria) of the heart. This hole allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, making the heart work harder than it should. ASD closure is a procedure to fix this hole.

Signs & Symptoms

 Some common Signs and Symptoms for ASD:

  • Difficulty breathing, especially during exercise,
  • Fatigue (feeling very tired),
  • Frequent lung infections,
  • Swelling in legs or feet,
  • Heart palpitations (irregular heartbeats).
Causes

 ASD is a congenital disability that happens when the septum does not form properly during fetal development.

When to seek medical attention?

 Seek medical help immediately:

  • If a child has trouble breathing or gets tired quickly.
  • If there are signs of heart problems, like an irregular heartbeat.
Diagnostics & Tests

 Diagnostics Tests for ASD:

  • An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) checks the heart structure.
  • Chest X-ray to see the size of the heart.
  • An electrocardiogram (ECG) checks for irregular heart rhythms.
     
Do’s & Don’ts

 Do's: 

  • Take prescribed medicines, like blood thinners, if needed.
  • Follow up regularly with the doctor after treatment.
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Watch for symptoms like breathlessness or swelling.

 Don'ts:

  • Don't ignore symptoms of heart trouble.
  • Avoid smoking or second-hand smoke exposure.
