Overview
Definitive treatment of atrial septal defect involves surgical closure of the defect. Medical therapy has a limited role in the management of ASD, and is often used to manage complications like arrhythmia, congestive heart failure and other comorbidities associated with atrial septal defects such as stroke and migraine.
Medical Therapy
There are no widely used guidelines for drug usage in patients with atrial septal defects. Medical therapy in patients with atrial septal defect is administered in certain conditions like arrhythmias [1].
- In asymptomatic patients with small shunts and normal right ventricle size, no medical therapy is required. Routine follow-up assessment of symptoms like arrhythmia, paradoxical embolic events should be done. Also, a repeat echocardiogram should be obtained every 2 to 3 years.
- Treatment of atrial arrhythmia and restoration of sinus rhythm is recommended. In cases of atrial fibrillation, antiarrhythmic and anticoagulation therapy is recommended.
ASD and Stroke
Aspirin has been found to decrease the incidence of recurrent stroke and transient ischemic attacks in patients with atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale [2]. The American Heart Association guidelines support the utilization of sustained warfarin therapy in high-risk atrial septal defect patients.[3]
- Researchers have investigated the justification for aspirin therapy in patients with atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale who have had stroke or a transient ischemic attack. Aspirin therapy was observed to have an effective role in reducing the incidence of recurrent stroke after four years.[2]
- Another pharmacologic intervention study indicated that both aspirin and warfarin therapy were effective. [4]
- The AHA guidelines support the utilization of sustained warfarin therapy in high-risk atrial septal defect patients. [5]
ASD and Migraine
Effective pharmacologic therapies for migraine prevention include:
- Anti-hypertensives: Beta blockers (propranolol, timolol, metoprolol, nadolol, and atenolol), calcium channel blockers (verapamil, nifedipine, and nimodipine), and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (lisinopril, candesartan)
- Anti-depressants: Amitriptyline, venlafaxine, nortriptyline, doxepin, protriptyline
- Anti-convulsants: Valproate, gabapentin, topiramate
- Other prophylaxis: Botulinum toxin, butterbur, coenzyme Q10, feverfew, magnesium, methysergide, opioids, pizotifen,riboflavin

| Class I |
| "1. Cardioversion after appropriate anticoagulation is recommended to attempt restoration of the sinus rhythm if atrial fibrillation occurs. (Level of Evidence: A) " |
| "2. Rate control and anticoagulation are recommended if sinus rhythm cannot be maintained by medical or interventional means. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
