Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect. Known as one of the most common congenital heart defects in children, ASD affects more than 2,000 babies each year. Also, if you’re dealing with a condition, such as pulmonary hypertension, you may need to take medication beforehand to get it under control and ready for repair.
