Atrioventricular septal defect information for parents.

A problem in endocardial cushion development or remodeling is thought to be associated with atrioventricular septal defect.

An atrioventricular septal defect also known as endocardial cushion defect is the most common form with up to 40% of patients affected.

Important It is possible that the main title of the report Atrioventricular Septal Defect is not the name you expected.

Incomplete formation of the endocardial cushions can lead to atrioventricular septal defects, such as an ostium primum defect.

Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD)

Defects in producing the AV septum produces atrioventricular septal defects, including a persistent AV canal and tricuspid atresia.

Repair of large septal defects (atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect)

A defect in the ostium primum is occasionally classified as an atrial septal defect, but it is more commonly classified as an atrioventricular septal defect.

The variation, in isolation, is considered benign, but is very frequently associated with cardiac abnormalities (e.g. ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect) that have a significant mortality and morbidity.

In congenital heart defects such as ventricular septal defects (VSD) and atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD), there may be one or multiple holes in the walls separating adjacent chambers.

Left to right shunting heart defects include ventricular septal defect or VSD (30% of all congenital heart defects), patent ductus arteriosus or PDA, atrial septal defect or ASD, and atrioventricular septal defect or AVSD.

A consistent positive association between consanguinity and disorders such as ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect has been demonstrated, but both positive and negative associations with patent ductus arteriosus, atrioventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, and Tetralogy of Fallot have been reported in different populations.

Endocardial cushion defect occurs while a baby is still growing in the womb.

Endocardial cushion defects are the most common congenital heart defect that is associated with Down's syndrome.

An atrioventricular septal defect also known as endocardial cushion defect is the most common form with up to 40% of patients affected.

Endocardial cushion defects are associated with abnormalities of the atrioventricular valves (the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve).

Endocardial cushion defect (ECD) is an abnormal heart condition in which the walls separating all four chambers of the heart are poorly formed or absent.

The ostium primum atrial septal defect (also known as an endocardial cushion defect) is a defect in the atrial septum at the level of the tricuspid and mitral valves.

Although statistically people with dextrocardia situs inversus do not have any medical problems from the disorder, they may be prone to a number of bowel, esophageal, bronchial and cardiovascular disorders (such as double outlet right ventricle, endocardial cushion defect and pulmonary stenosis).

This is sometimes known as an endocardial cushion defect because it often involves the endocardial cushion, which is the portion of the heart where the atrial septum meets the ventricular septum and the mitral valve meets the tricuspid valve.
