Congenital atrial septal defect is
a common congenital heart disease, accounting for 20%~30% of congenital diseases. It can lead to hemodynamic changes and affect cardiac function. If the parents of patients with congenital atrial septal defect, and there are genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, the probability of congenital atrial septal defect in the next generation is relatively high.
