atrial heart septal defect

vr.tr.atrial-heart-septal-defect · XCT.STA

Let an agent explain atrial septal defects in general terms, relay types, genetics, symptoms and treatment from cardiology sources, route emergencies, describe the named genetic types, and distinguish ASD from patent foramen ovale, ventricular septal defect and other congenital heart defects, without diagnosing individuals.

Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain atrial septal defects in general terms, relay types, genetics, symptoms and treatment from cardiology sources, route emergencies, describe the named genetic types, and distinguish ASD from patent foramen ovale, ventricular septal defect and other congenital heart defects, without diagnosing individuals.

A congenital heart defect in which there is an opening in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart, allowing blood to flow between the atria, classified as secundum, the most common type, primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus defects, with inherited forms numbered in genetic databases, such as atrial septal defect types 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, some linked to genes such as GATA4 and NKX2-5; many are found in childhood or adulthood and may cause breathlessness, arrhythmias or paradoxical embolism, and they can be closed by catheter devices or surgery. Stroke symptoms or severe breathlessness need emergency care.

What it is for: Not applicable; a congenital heart condition.

It can be explain types in general terms; relay genetics and treatment; describe named genetic types; route emergencies.

Distinguishing features

Congenital

Left-to-right shunt

Often late diagnosis

Catheter or surgical closure

What it looks like

Not visible externally; seen on echocardiography as a gap in the atrial septum.

Physical character

most common type: secundum ASD note

genes linked: GATA4, NKX2-5, TBX20 and others list

main diagnostic test: echocardiography note

How it is recognised

Hole in the wall between the heart s upper chambers

Atrial septal defect types 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, secundum ASD, primum ASD, sinus venosus defect

PFO is a flap-like opening; VSD is between ventricles; other congenital defects involve valves or vessels
