What is an international septum?
Interratial septum is part of a larger septum, a wall in the heart that is divided directly from the left side. This part of the wall divides the atrium, two upper chambers of the heart. Its creation of fetus and function in the heart of a child and adult is interesting to explore.
In the fetus with a septic wall, it begins to form early and the international septum undergoes many changes until it is fully created. There are very important ways that this wall must develop in fetal growth, because the circulation is unlike what happens as soon as the child depends on the lungs to breathe. One is that there is higher pressure on the right side of the heart, because the lungs are not yet used to breathe, which is, unlike the way the pressure works after birth. To reduce this pressure, as international septum is formed, it leaves several holes so that the blood can shorten the left to the left side of the heart.
Over the next few weeks, a single opening is developed in the inter -patrial septum, called foramen ovale , and this provides PR passageon the right side of the blood to enter the left atrium. This corridor is absolutely necessary during life in the womb, but once the child is born, it is not necessary or desirable. Although it is often said that children with heart defects are born with a hole in their hearts, it is inaccurate. Practically all children are born with a hole in the hearts in the international septum.
During the first few months of life, most children will have foran ovale closure, as the left pressure in the heart increases. There is no need for blood from the right side of the heart to shorten to the left side. Occasionally this hole remains open and is referred to as patent foramen ovale . Over time, it may be closed in itself or may require surgical closure.
In an older child, a child and an adult, the main function of the interprial septum is to prevent both halls from passing through blood back and forth to each other, but there are many cases where mild anomalies occur during the septum formation. It can leave either open foramen ovale, orIn the septum, there may be holes that maintain communication between the atrial. These holes are called defects of the atrial septum septum and require monitoring or might require surgical repair.
As children continue to evolve, this communication can often be closed without intervention, but if there are many, if they are particularly large, or if other heart defects are present, the child can benefit from early surgery. Some people have holes that do not close, do not have surgery and are still able to have a very complete life, but there is a risk of abnormal pressure on the left in the right atrium or lungs. Those with any form of septum defects between international ways will usually be mandatory to be on the case of pediatric and then adult cardiologists to seek outstanding complications.
