Pathophysiology
Associated Conditions
Most of ostium secundum ASDs occur sporadically. However, ostium secundum ASD has been found to occur with increased frequency in association with some genetic disorders including:
- Holt-Oram (heart-hand) syndrome
- Down syndrome
- Noonan syndrome
- Treacher Collins syndrome
- Thrombocytopenia-absent radii (TAR) syndrome
- Mitral valve prolapse: 10% to 20 % of individuals with ostium secundum ASDs also have mitral valve prolapse.[1]
