Atrial septal defects occur most commonly in the region of the fossa ovalis, referred to as secundum-type defects .Additional atrial  septal  defects  include  defects  of  the  sinus  venosus  and  atrium primum. Color flow Doppler echocardiography is usually sufficient for diagnosis of a secundum-type atrial septal defect, but agitated saline is generally needed for the diagnosis of other types of atrial septal defects.
