Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a form of congenital heart defect that enables blood flow between the left and right atria via the interatrial septum. The interatrial septum is the tissue that divides the right and left atria. Without this septum, or if there is a defect in this septum, it is possible for blood to travel from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart, or vice versa.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of ASD, and Dr. Blake et al from University of Kansas, Kansas City, KS discuss the diagnosis and management of ASD and AF.
