Abstract

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the general name for a number of diseases which their etiology is mainly a congenital defect in the interatrial septum. ASD, after bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve prolapse, is the third most common congenital heart disease; also, it is much more frequent in women than men (McCarthy et al. 2003; Geva et al. 2014).
