Congenitally cleft atrioventricular valves associated with secundum atrial septal defects

NJ Snow and JL Ankeney

Three patients with the rare association of secundum ASD and congenital clefts of A-V valves are reported. These three patients illustrate the predictive valve of vectoracardiographic analysis in precisely determining the anatomic location of the valvular pathology. The embryologic origins of the lesion are briefly discussed. A review of the literature supports the use of vector analysis in the evaluation of the patients with this type of heart disease.
