Epidemiology
As a group, atrial septal defects are detected in 1 child per 1500 live births. ASDs make up 30 to 40% of all congenital heart disease that is seen in adults.[1]
The ostium secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 7% of all congenital heart lesions. This lesion shows a female preponderance, with a male : female ratio of 1:2.[2]
Patent Foramen Ovales (PFOs) are quite common (appearing in 10 - 20% of adults) but are asymptomatic and therefore undiagnosed. ASDs make up 30 to 40% of all congenital heart disease that is seen in adults and are the most common form of congenital heart defect in adults besides bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve prolapse.
