ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT IN INFANTS

Frances F. Nakamura M.D.1, Anna J. Hauck M.D.1, and Alexander S. Nadas M.D.1

1 The Sharon Cardiovascular Unit of the Children's Hospital Medical Center and the Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass.

1. Ten patients between the ages of 5 months and 2 years with the secundum variety of atrial septal defect were diagnosed by cardiac catheterization.

2. The hemodynamic and physiologic data classically associated with secundum atrial defects were found except for the unexplained existence in two cases of a pressure gradient between the atria.

3. Most of these patients were relatively asymptomatic, and the few who developed congestive heart failure were controlled medically until the optimum age for elective repair was reached.

4. All 10 patients are alive at the time of this writing.
