Summary
An ASD is a common congenital cardiac lesion, comprising 6–10% of such anomalies at birth, although diagnosis may not occur until adulthood. The lesion may present as an atrial arrhythmia, paradoxical embolic stroke or exercise limitation secondary to RV volume overload. ASDs may be single or multiple and are associated with additional cardiac lesions in 30% of cases.
