Atrial Septal Defect:
It is a hole in the wall between the upper chambers of the heart (atria). It is divided into three types of holes. The first type, called the upper hole, is a hole in the upper wall separating the atria and may be accompanied by problems in the right pulmonary artery. The second type is the middle hole (called the second hole), which is one of the most famous between the atria and the most frequent. The third type is the lower hole (called the first hole) and may be accompanied by defects in the mitral valve by the middle hole. There may be no symptoms on the child and may be diagnosed by chance for medical examination for any reason and without any symptoms of the disease. Symptoms may be frequent infections of the lungs, rapid breathing, difficulty in feeding, or irregular heartbeat. This hole may be closed in "some" cases automatically but that does not close it must be closed by catheter or surgical procedure.
