| ===Septal defects===
| |
| The septum is a wall of tissue which separates the [[left heart]] from the [[right heart]]. It is comparatively common for defects to exist in the [[interatrial septum]] or the [[interventricular septum]], allowing blood to flow from the left side of the heart to the right, reducing the heart's efficiency. [[Ventricular septal defect]]s are collectively the most common type of CHD, although approximately 30% of adults have a type of [[atrial septal defect]] called [[patent foramen ovale]]. Septal defects may or may not cause [[cyanosis]] depending on the severity of the defect.
