An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect characterized by an opening in the septum, the wall that separates the heart's two upper chambers (atria). This opening allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the left atrium into the right atrium, mixing with oxygen-poor blood, which can strain the heart and lungs over time. Small ASDs may close on their own during childhood, while larger defects may require medical monitoring or surgical intervention, such as catheter-based repair or open-heart surgery, to prevent complications like arrhythmias, heart failure, or pulmonary hypertension.
