Question

Can ASD cause a reversal of blood flow within the heart?

Answer 1

Can ASD cause reversal blood flow?

_No there is no reversal back flow,but ,There wil be an abnormal blood flow in heart in the case of Atrial septal defect.

_In atrial septal defect there is an abnormal opening in the dividing wall (septum)between the upper champers of the heart(atria).

_Right atrium have deoxyganate blood and left atrium have oxyginatad blood which is coming from lungs , because of ASD (Atrial septal defect)The oxygen rich blood from( left atrium) oxygen poor blood (right atrium) will mix because of ASD.

_Reversal back flow means ,if the blood is entering into chamber and it going back is called reversal back flow,for example when the blood is pumping from right atrium to right ventricle ,and during the right ventricle contraction if the blood is going back to the right atrium is the riversal backflow.So in this condition there is no reversal backflow.
