Description

An Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) is a heart deformity wherein there are openings between the chambers of the right and left sides of the heart, and the valves that control the progression of blood between these chambers may not be framed accurately. This condition is likewise called atrioventricular canal (AV channel) imperfection or endocardial cushion deformity. In AVSD, bloodstreams where it typically ought not to go. The blood may likewise have a lower than a typical measure of oxygen, and additional blood can stream to the lungs. This additional blood being siphoned into the lungs powers the heart and lungs to try sincerely and may prompt congestive cardiovascular breakdown.

There are two general types of AVSD that can occur, depending on which structures are not formed correctly:

1. Complete AVSD

A total AVSD happens when there is a huge opening in the centre of the heart which permits blood to stream between every one of the four offices of the heart. This opening happens where the septa (dividers) isolating the two top chambers (atria) and two base chambers (ventricles) typically meet. There is additionally one normal atrioventricular valve in the focal point of the heart rather than two separate valves – the tricuspid valve on the right half of the heart and the mitral valve on the left half of the heart. This normal valve frequently has handouts (folds) that may not be framed accurately or don't close firmly. A total AVSD emerges during pregnancy when the regular valve neglects to isolate into the two particular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves) and when the septa (dividers) split the upper and lower chambers of the heart don't develop right to meet in the focal point of the heart.

2. Partial or Incomplete AVSD

A fractional or fragmented AVSD happens when the heart has a few, however not the entirety of the imperfections of a total AVSD. There is normally an opening in the atrial divider or in the ventricular divider close to the focal point of the heart. An incomplete AVSD typically has both mitral and tricuspid valves, yet one of the valves (generally mitral) may not close totally, permitting blood to release in reverse from the left ventricle into the left chamber.

Causes and Risk Factors

The reasons for congenital heart defects, such as AVSD, among most children are obscure. A few children have heart deserts due to changes in their qualities or chromosomes. Specifically, AVSD is basic in children with Down disorder, a hereditary condition that includes an additional chromosome 21 (likewise called trisomy 21). Inherent heart abandons are additionally thought to be brought about by the blend of qualities and other danger factors, for example, things the mother interacts within her current circumstance, what she eats or drinks, or certain meds she utilizes during pregnancy.
