Atrial Septal Defect(ASD)

• What is meant by this defect
• Atrial septum is the wall between right and left
  atria which keeps blue blood without oxygen and
  red blood with oxygen separate. When a hole
  exists in this atrial septum wall it is called
  Atrial Septal Defect.

Types of ASD

• Secundum atrial septal defect This defect is by
  far the most common ASD defect representing 80
  of all ASD defects. This is an opening in the
  wall between the chambers.
• Primum ASD Primum ASD defects are associated
  with a split in the leaflet of the valve and are
  also called cleft mitral value.
• Sinus Venosus ASD In this defect one or more
  pulmonary veins, which normally carry oxygenated
  blood from the lungs back to the left atrium,
  enters the right atrium instead mixing the red
  blood with blue blood.

Transposition of Great Arteries(TGA)

• What is meant by this defect
• Transposition refers to the 2 tubes exchanging
  their respective positions i.e. the right sided
  blue blood carrying tube going to the lungs now
  in this condition comes out of the left pump but
  carries red blood and goes to the lungs (it takes
  red blood to get more oxygen ?-does not work out
  !)
• The aorta which is supposed to carry red blood
  comes out of the right sided ventricle and
  carries blue blood to the whole body.

7
