•Concept ID:
C0014116
•
Congenital Abnormality
Synonyms: Cushion Defect, Endocardial; Cushion Defects, Endocardial; Defect, Endocardial Cushion; Defects, Endocardial Cushion; Endocardial Cushion Defect; Endocardial Cushion Defects
SNOMED CT: Endocardial cushion defect (15459006)
 
OMIM®: 606215

Definition

A spectrum of septal defects involving the ATRIAL SEPTUM; VENTRICULAR SEPTUM; and the atrioventricular valves (TRICUSPID VALVE; BICUSPID VALVE). These defects are due to incomplete growth and fusion of the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS which are important in the formation of two atrioventricular canals, site of future atrioventricular valves. [from MeSH]
