  • Primordial gut and eventually foregut, midgut and hindgut
  • Connecting stalk and become continuous with vessels in chorion
  • Somites and their derivatives

Question 14

Question
All of the following statements are true regarding atrial septal defects (ASDs) except:
Answer
  • They are more common in females than males.
  • The most common type of ASD is patent foramen ovale.
  • Endocardial cushion defects are often isolated and rarely associated with genetic conditions.
  • The most common ASD is well tolerated through childhood and may not present with symptoms until the 30s (pulmonary hypertension).

  • A small percentage (<5%) will spontaneously close within the first year of life while the rest require surgical correction.
  • Large VSDs with excessive pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary HTN can result in cardiac failure in infancy.
