Diagnosis vs Finding: An ASD (atrial septal defect) and vsd (ventricular septal defect) or diagnoses. ASD the hole is between left and right atria. Vsd the hole is between left and right ventricles. A murmur is diagnostic finding (sign). It is a sound caused by turbulent flow (rough like rapids in a river). Murmurs can be heard with many issues in the heart. An ASD may not even have a murmur.
