ABSTRACT

Atrial septal defects are a common congenital heart malformation in humans, but relatively rare in dogs. Boxers, Doberman pinchers, Old English Sheepdogs, and Samoyeds are the most predisposed breeds. The most frequent type of atrial septal defect is the ostium secundum (98,7%) with 73,7% of affected animals being asymptomatic. An ostium primum type has been reported more frequently in cats then dogs. This article presents a case of atrial septal defect of the ostium primum type in a dog.

Key words: dog, atrial septal defects, congenital heart defects, ostium primum.
