What does X-ray of atrial septal defect mean?

Atrial septal defect (ASD)

is a common congenital heart disease. It is a defect in the septum between the left and right atria of the heart, causing blood to flow from the left atrium to the right atrium, causing the right atrium and right ventricle to enlarge. X-ray examination is one of the important methods to diagnose ASD. X-ray examination can observe the vascular texture of the patient's lungs and the shape of the heart, which can help diagnose and arrest treatment.

In addition to X-ray examination, patients can also be diagnosed by echocardiography and ECG.
