Atrial septal defect
- An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a birth defect that causes a hole in the septum, the wall that separates the heart’s two upper chambers. All babies are born with some opening between the atria, called the foramen ovale. This usually closes up on its own, but if it doesn’t, it might require treatment.

Mar 13, 2022 · Structural heart disease is a problem with the structure of your heart. You can be born with structural heart disease or develop it later in life. Structural heart disease types include cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease and heart valve disease. You may not need treatment for your condition.

- Healthy Heart Function. A normal heart has valves, arteries and chambers that carry the blood in a circulatory pattern: body–heart–lungs–heart–body. When all chambers and valves work correctly, the blood is pumped through the heart, to the lungs for oxygen, back the heart and out to the body for delivery of oxygen.
- Aortic Valve Stenosis (AVS) A valve from the heart to the body that does not properly open and close and may also leak blood. When the blood flowing out from the heart is trapped by a poorly working valve, pressure may build up inside the heart and cause damage.
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) A "hole" in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart. This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers in the heart.
- Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) A narrowing of the major artery (the aorta) that carries blood to the body. This narrowing affects blood flow where the arteries branch out to carry blood along separate vessels to the upper and lower parts of the body.
- Hole in the Heart (Septal Defect) This means you’re born with a hole in the wall, or septum, that separates the left and right sides of your heart. The hole lets blood from the two sides mix.
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) An ASD is a hole in the wall between the upper chambers, or the right and left atria, of your heart. A hole here lets blood from the left atrium mix with blood in the right atrium.
- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) A VSD is a hole in the part of your septum that separates your heart’s lower chambers, or ventricles. If you have a VSD, blood gets pumped back to your lungs instead of to your body.
- Complete Atrioventricular Canal Defect (CAVC) This is the most serious septal defect. It’s when you have a hole in your heart that affects all four chambers.
Feb 2, 2013 · Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborn babies. Cardiac malformations have been produced in multiple experimental animal models, by perturbing selected molecules that function in the developmental pathways involved in myocyte specification, differentiation or cardiac morphogenesis.

Jun 30, 2023 · WebMD explains the causes and symptoms of the different types of heart disease, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and heart valve disease.
Mar 22, 2022 · When valves, chambers, arteries and veins are malformed, this circulation pattern can be impaired. Congenital heart defects are malformations that are present at birth. They may or may not have a disruptive effect on a person's circulatory system. Learn how the healthy heart works.
Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect the heart. Heart disease includes: Blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease. Irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. Heart conditions that you're born with, called congenital heart defects. Disease of the heart muscle. Heart valve disease.
