Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most frequent congenital anomalies of heart. The defect leads to abnormal intracardiac haemodynamics with blood shunting and pulmonary blood-flow increase. Pathological consequences of ASD develop from the moment of birth, leading to formation of clinical signs which aren’t always obvious within the first month of life. Echocardiography (Echo-CG) is the most practical and available method to diagnose ASD in the first month of life. Early screening of the newborns to identify congenital anomalies of heart by Echo-CG allows to reveal the pathologic condition in due time and to choose the optimal tactics of care. Comparative Echo-CG assessment of structure and function of heart in newborns of the first month of life with ASD and in newborns without congenital anomalies of heart has allowed to reveal a number of features which characterize intracardiac haemodynamics in this group of patients.
Key words: atrial septal defect, echocardiography, diagnostics
