What are the complications of atrial septal defect ?
• Atrial arrhythmias: atrial fibrillation is most common. Atrial fibrillation is often accompanied by the appearance of tricuspid regurgitation. Patients are usually in normal sinus rhythm in the first three decades of life, alter which atrial arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia may appear.
• Pulmonary hypertension with the development of right ventricular disease.
• Eisenmenger syndrome with reversal of shunt.
• Paradoxical embolus.
• Infective endocarditis in patients with ostium primum defects only.
• Recurrent pulmonary infections.
