Antenatal period and clinical picture analysis of the newborns with interatrial communications

The birth of children with congenital heart disease is a serious problem due to the risk of infant mortality. Clinically, the interatrial septum defect belongs to the low manifest defects. The severity of its symptoms depends on the size and location of the defect, as well as, to a greater extent, on the duration of the defect and the development of secondary complications. This situation dictates the need for early diagnosis of this congenital heart disease, dynamic observation, timely treatment, which determines the relevance of this study. In this article, we tried to analyze in detail the characteristics of the course of the antenatal period and the clinical picture of newborns with atrial communication. Summing up our study, it should be noted that the clinical manifestations in interatrial communications in newborns are not specific. In most infants with interatrial communications, systolic noise of varying intensity can be heard, however, this noise is not associated with the presence of interatrial communications, but due to the presence of diagonally located chords in the left ventricle.
