چکیده
Atrial septal endocarditis can occur as an isolated event or in association with valvular endocarditis. It is also reported following percutaneous device closure of atrial septal defects. We present the echocardiography findings from a young man presenting with endocarditis of an abnormal mitral valve in whom endocarditis was demonstrated associated with an atrial septal defect.

متن کاملSecundum atrial septal defect associated with a cleft mitral valve.
Five cases of atrial septal defect are reported, each of which was associated with a cleft in the anterior or posterior (or both) leaflet of the mitral valve. Only 3 had a characteristic murmur of mitral regurgitation, and 2 of these patients were thought to have a partial endocardial cushion defect. In two patients, the discovery of the mitral valve cleft came only at the time of operation, wh...
