Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall (the septum) between the heart’s two uppermost chambers, the right and left atrium. This hole allows blood to flow in either direction between the left and right atrium. Septal defects are sometimes called a “hole” in the heart.

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the heart’s two lower chambers (ventricles). Ventricular septal defects usually occur by themselves, without other birth defects of any kind. Experts estimate that VSDs account for about 30 percent of all congenital heart defects, occurring in 1 out of every 500 babies.
