Five-year National Trends In Outcomes Of Atrial Septal Defect Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly seen in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD), regardless of ASD type or status of repair. This is likely because of shunt related atria remodeling leading to atrial fibrillation. There are limited data available on the trends in outcomes of ASD patients with AF.

Severe Right Heart Failure In A Patient With Peripartum Cardiomyopathy And Large Secundum Atrial Septal Defect
We present a challenging case of a young female with an atrial septal defect who developed pulmonary hypertension in the setting of peripartum cardiomyopathy.A 22 year-old African-American female status-post normal spontaneous vaginal delivery 2 months ago presented to the hospital with a 2-month history of dyspnea, orthopnea, bilateral leg swelling, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. She had no hypoxemia or cyanosis. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Failure)

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 32: A Novel Homozygous Loss-of-Function Variant in SPRED2 Causes Autosomal Recessive Noonan-like Syndrome
o
Giulio Piluso
Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant developmental disorder characterized by peculiar facial dysmorphisms, short stature, congenital heart defects, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 2001, PTPN11 was identified as the first Noonan syndrome gene and is responsible for the majority of Noonan syndrome cases. Over the years, several other genes involved in Noonan syndrome (KRAS, SOS1, RAF1, MAP2K1, BRAF, NRAS, RIT1, and LZTR1) have been identified, acting at different levels of the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Recently, SPRED2 was recognized as a novel Noonan syndrome gene with autos...

Pattern of congenital heart defects among children in Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia: A five-year hospital-based study
CONCLUSIONS: This study's results are similar to those described in previous studies from around the world, except for the unreported Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) cases. This kind of information is very important for setting priorities in the Saudi Arabian health sector in light of the National Transformation Program.PMID:38074278 | PMC:PMC10706519 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_2008_22 (Source: Primary Care)

These two clinical entities, having different embryological origin, as well as clinical manifestations, clinical course and treatment must be carefully distinguished. Right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension are considered the major determinants of morbidity and mortality in ASD.
