Atrio ventricular cannal defect Atrioventricular canal defect, also known as atrioventricular septal defect, is a congenital heart condition that affects the structure of the heart. This defect involves abnormal development of the septum that separates the atria and ventricles, leading to abnormal blood flow between the chambers. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term outlook for individuals with atrioventricular canal defect. Understanding this condition is crucial for early detection, intervention, and management to improve the quality of life for those affected. 1.
