  2. Atrial septal defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septal_defect

    As a group, atrial septal defects are detected in one child per 1500 live births. PFOs are quite common (appearing in 10–20% of adults), but when asymptomatic go undiagnosed. ASDs make up 30 to 40% of all congenital heart diseases that are seen in adults. [58] The ostium secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 7% of all congenital heart ...

  3. Ventricular aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_aneurysm

    The word aneurysm refers to a bulge or 'pocketing' of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum, or within the aorta. In the heart, they usually arise from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall , which swells into a bubble filled with blood. [ 1 ]

  4. Aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurysm

    A true aneurysm is one that involves all three layers of the wall of an artery (intima, media and adventitia).True aneurysms include atherosclerotic, syphilitic, and congenital aneurysms, as well as ventricular aneurysms that follow transmural myocardial infarctions (aneurysms that involve all layers of the attenuated wall of the heart are also considered true aneurysms).

  5. Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein_of_Galen_aneurysmal...

    The heart failure is due to the size of the arteriovenous shunt that can steal 80% or more of the cardiac output, with large volumes of blood under high pressure returning to the right heart and pulmonary circulation and sinus venosus atrial septal defects. [4] [5] It is also the most common cause of death in such patients. [6]

  6. ICD-10 Procedure Coding System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10_Procedure_Coding_System

    The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.

  7. Fossa ovalis (heart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossa_ovalis_(heart)

    This pouch can protrude into the right atrium or the left atrium. The cause of this aneurysm is the result of abnormal, increased pressure within the heart. Even if the foramen ovale does seal shut, an aneurysm may occur, usually on the side of the right atrium. If the aneurysm stretches too far, it can narrow the opening of the inferior vena ...

  8. Paradoxical embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradoxical_embolism

    [10] Additionally, if a paradoxical embolism is suspected in a patient, findings consistent with a congenital heart defect that may lead to right-to-left shunting can be evaluated. These include digital clubbing due to chronic hypoxemia in distal extremities or a widely-split S2, a pathological heartbeat pattern where the second heart sound has ...

  9. Heart murmur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_murmur

    Atrial septal defect will present with a systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur. It is best heard at the left upper sternal border. This is the result of an increased volume going through the pulmonary valve. It has association with a fixed, split S2 and a right ventricular heave. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) will present as a holosystolic ...
