Hello, atrial septal defect is not a hereditary disease, but it is caused by various different factors, such as viral infections, radiation, and so on. Atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart defect in clinical diagnosis, referring to the abnormal condition that occurs during the growth and development of the atrial septum, resulting in a gap between the heart atria.
