Gerbode defect is a rare defect describing a left ventricle to right atrium shunt with symptoms dependent on the size and degree of the shunt. It is either a congenital defect detected in infancy, or an acquired case reported in older age. Diagnosis by means of echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is of paramount importance before surgical correction is contemplated to achieve a good prognosis.
心房间隔缺损是一种罕见的心脏缺陷，其症状取决于左心室向右心房分流的大小和程度。它可以是婴儿期发现的先天性缺陷，也可以是老年时出现的获得性病例。在考虑手术矫正以获得良好预后之前，通过超声心动图和心脏磁共振成像进行诊断至关重要。
