A. An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a small hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two upper chambers (atria) of the heart. If the ASD is small and has closed on its own, it is generally a positive sign. Many small ASDs close naturally during infancy or early childhood without causing any long-term issues. When the ASD closes on its own, it usually does not cause any significant health problems, and the heart functions normally. However, it is important to monitor the child’s health and ensure there are no complications, like breathing difficulties, or frequent infections, which could indicate other heart concerns. Regular follow-up with a pediatric cardiologist is recommended to confirm that the ASD has closed completely and the heart is functioning properly. In most cases, if the ASD is small and closed, there is no need for further treatment.
