Atrial septal defect

Chest

An atrial septal defect is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart. Many go undetected into adulthood as they cause no obvious symptoms. An MRI may show a defect in the wall between the upper chambers consistent with this condition. Finding an atrial septal defect early allows for monitoring and may allow for closure before it causes pulmonary hypertension or arrhythmia.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
