Description

This detailed visualization showcases an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a congenital heart abnormality marked by an opening in the septum that separates the left and right atria. In the image, the defect is clearly visible within the interatrial wall, allowing direct observation of the abnormal passage that disrupts the normal flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. It’s particularly useful for understanding how even a small ASD can lead to complications such as right atrial enlargement, pulmonary hypertension, or stroke risk over time.
