• There are two kinds of holes in the heart. One is called an atrial septal
defect (ASD), and the other is a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Although both
are holes in the wall of tissue (septum) between the left and right upper
chambers of the heart (atria), their causes are quite different. An ASD is a
failure of the septal tissue to form between the atria, and as such it is
considered a congenital heart defect, something that you are born with.
Generally, an ASD hole is larger than that of a PFO. The larger the hole, the
more likely there are to be symptoms.
