  • An ASD is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart called the right and left atria. (nicklauschildrens.org)
  • The right and left sides of the heart are further divided into two top chambers called the atria (also termed the right and left atrium ), which receive blood and then pump it into the two bottom chambers called ventricles, which pump blood to the lungs and to the body. (medicinenet.com)
