Atrioventricular septal defect is a developmental irregularity in which a hole connects two or more chambers in your child’s heart. This hole may connect the top two, the bottom two, or all four ...

Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) comprise a spectrum of congenital heart malformations characterised by a deficiency of the atrioventricular septum, often resulting in a common atrioventricular ...

Incomplete development of the endocardial cushion and the atrioventricular septum is responsible for the development of AV canal defects. These defects range from primum atrial septum defects to ...

INJURY to the invisible subendocardial conduction system during surgical closure of congenital defects in the ventricular septum is an uncommon but extremely grave complication. 1,2 Impalement of ...

Heart valve defects are a common cause of death in newborns. Scientists at the University of Bonn and the caesar research center have discovered "Creld1" is a key gene for the development of heart ...

An ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) occurs when then atrial septum near the atrioventricular valves has a communication between the two atrium causing a left to right shunt. This rarely ...

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

An atrioventricular canal is a congenital heart defect that connects chambers of your child’s heart that shouldn’t be connected. Atrioventricular canals usually require surgical treatment. It usually ...
