introduction
ASD is the most common
acyanotic type of congenital heart
diseases with L-R shunt.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY :
RIGHT VENTRICLE
Rt ventricle enlarges in size to accommodate extra volume of blood
SVC RIGHT ATRIUM IVC
Rt atrium enlarges in size to accomodate extra volume of blood
ASD
Leaking of oxygenated blood from left atrium to right atrium
Delayed DIASTOLIC MURMUR
![Page 4: ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECTS PATHOPHYSIOLOGY & CLINICAL …](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012709/61a91dfa3fb4fe3e794caa3b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SYSTOLIC EJECTION MURMUR
Prolonged EJECTION
PHASE i.e
Increased Hang Out
interval Pulmonary
valve closes
late
As RV is fully loaded,
further increase in its
volume during
inspiration cannot
occur
P2 Delay
Wide fixed split
of S2
Large volume passes through normal pulmonary valve

If left untreated
Any condition causing decreased LV

Cardiomyopathy, MI)
Increased LA pressure (MS, MR)

CLINICAL FEATURES :
• Usually asymptomatic in the first and second decades of life.
• Ostium secundum is well tolerated, so patients present late in life.
• Ostium primum is least tolerated, these patients present early in childhood.

Common manifestations:
DYSPNOEA ON EXERTION : FREQUENT CHEST
INFECTIONS :
FATIGUE

An undetected ASD with a significant shunt
Supra ventricular
Arrhythmias(Atrial
fibrillations & Atrial flutter)
Effort
dyspnea
Palpitations
Right
ventricular
Failure
Syncopal attacks
Children with large ASD manifest with CCF & Failure to thrive.

CARDIO VASCULAR SYSTEM EXAMINATION :

CARDIAC EXAMINATION :
-Signs of Right ventricular hypertrophy.
Inspection : Left atrialization of JVP(A wave=V wave)
Mild left precordial bulge.
Palpation : -Parasternal impulse (hyperdynamic RV
impulse at the end of systole)
-Dilated pulmonary artery trunk palpable
in 2nd LICS.

Auscultation :*S1 in all areas-Normal
In Pulmonary area:
*S2- Wide fixed split of S2
(Hallmark of ASD)
- P2 delay and accentuated

Summary
• ASD: left to right shunt
• Leading to enlargement of right atrium , right ventricle and
pulmonary trunk
• Right ventricular failure
• Wide fixed split of S2 and delayed diastolic murmur are the
significant clinical findings.
