Introduction
Before birth there are three identified "shunts" in the mammalian cardiovascular system:
- the foramen ovale, within the heart between the atria
- the ductus arteriosus, within the aortic arch
- the ductus venosus, within the liver

Atrial Septal Defect
- Foramen ovale defects are generally classes as atrial septal defects.
- Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) are a group of common (1% of cardiac) congenital anomolies defects occuring in a number of different forms and more often in females.
