A 9-year-old girl presents with progressive exercise intolerance and dyspnea on exertion. Vital signs show HR 98 bpm, BP 110/68 mmHg, RR 18, SpO2 98% on room air. Cardiac examination reveals a midsystolic ejection murmur at the left upper sternal border with fixed split S2. Echocardiography demonstrates a 12-mm ostium secundum defect in the fossa ovalis region with left-to-right shunting. Chest X-ray shows normal heart size without pulmonary edema. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

  1. A)Patent foramen ovale
  2. B)Coarctation of the aorta
  3. C)Pulmonic valve stenosis
  4. D)Atrial septal defect of the secundum typeGABARITO
  5. E)Ventricular septal defect

Explicação

A secundum atrial septal defect occurs at the fossa ovalis and causes a left to right shunt. The hallmark physical finding is a fixed split S2 due to increased right sided flow delaying pulmonic valve closure. The systolic murmur reflects increased flow across...
