Idiopathic (autoimmune) pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare lung disease where a soap-like substance called surfactant builds up inside the air sacs (alveoli). This buildup blocks oxygen from ...
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare lung disease in which the tiny air sacs (alveoli) fill up with too much surfactant—a soapy, fat-protein substance that normally keeps the ...
Autoimmune myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle caused by the body’s own immune system attacking the heart by mistake. The immune system’s T cells, B cells, and antibodies become ...
Atrial cardiomyopathy means the atria (the two upper heart chambers) are diseased. The atrial walls may be thick, stiff, stretched, scarred (fibrosis), inflamed, infiltrated by abnormal proteins, or ...
Atrichia with papular lesions (APL) is a very rare, inherited hair disorder. Babies are born with normal hair or some soft hair. During the first months of life, that hair falls out. It does not grow ...
A sinus venosus atrial septal defect (often shortened to sinus venosus ASD) is a birth defect in the wall that separates the heart’s two upper chambers (the atria). In this special subtype, the ...
A sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is a hole that is not in the true thin wall between the upper heart chambers (the inter-atrial “septal membrane”). Instead, it sits just next to that ...
An ostium secundum atrial septal defect is a birth-present hole in the thin wall (septum) between the two upper heart chambers (the atria). In the womb, every baby has a natural opening there to let ...
A primum atrial septal defect is a birth defect in the wall between the two top chambers of the heart (the atria). The hole sits very low in that wall, close to the heart valves. Doctors call this ...
A partial atrioventricular canal defect (often shortened to partial AVSD) is a birth defect of the heart where there is a hole low in the wall between the two upper chambers (the atria). This hole ...
An atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) is a birth heart condition where the wall between the top chambers (atria) and the bottom chambers (ventricles) does not develop fully, and the two heart ...
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall (septum) between the two top chambers of the heart (the atria). The ostium primum type is a special kind of ASD that sits very low in the atrial ...
Unroofed coronary sinus (URCS) is a rare heart birth defect where part or all of the thin wall (the “roof”) that normally separates the coronary sinus (the main vein that drains blood from the heart ...
Atrial Septal Defect, coronary sinus type (also called unroofed coronary sinus) it’s a rare heart birth defect where the coronary sinus (a small venous channel that should drain heart-muscle blood ...
ASD-AV conduction defects syndrome is a rare, inherited heart condition. A person has a hole between the heart’s upper chambers (an atrial septal defect, most often the ostium secundum type). The ...
Atrial septal defect (ASD) means there is a hole in the wall (the septum) that separates the two top chambers of the heart (the right and left atria). Because of this hole, blood can flow from the ...
