ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart condition characterised by a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the heart's two upper chambers (atria). This defect allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. In emergencies, awareness of your ASD is important for guiding safe treatment decisions. This fully printed ASD ICE (In Case of Emergency) card ensures your diagnosis is clearly communicated to medical responders.
Ideal for hospital visits, travel, daily life, or work, this card provides peace of mind that your heart condition will be recognised even if you cannot explain it yourself.

What is Atrial Septal Defect?
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a hole in the septum between the heart's two upper chambers, present from birth. It allows mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which can strain the heart and lungs over time. Symptoms vary and some people may be asymptomatic. Treatment can include monitoring, medications, or surgical repair. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders understand your condition quickly and provide appropriate care.
