Medical Conditions - Ostium Secundum

Ostium secundum is the forerunner to the interstitial septum of the heart. It is also known as foramen secundum as it is the foramen in the septum primum. The septum divides the heart into the right and left atrium. If ostium secundum persists in large size after development, it is an atrial septal defect.
