Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of evaluating unexplained right ventricular volume overload and pulmonary hypertension for possible atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, even in older adults.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common congenital heart lesion in adults and is often asymptomatic until adulthood. Diagnosis is important, as timely ASD repair improves outcomes.
