Echocardiography plays a central role in diagnosis, assessment of haemodynamic significance, anatomical characterization, transcatheter closure planning, and follow\u2010up. However, the frequently non\u2010circular geometry of secundum ASD can make accurate anatomical assessment challenging, particularly with single\u2010plane measurements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This narrative review provides a practical echocardiographic approach to adult secundum ASD, emphasizing the complementary roles of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), multiplanar two\u2010dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), color Doppler, and three\u2010dimensional (3D) TEE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Content<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TTE provides initial diagnosis and assessment of physiological consequences, including right\u2010sided chamber remodeling, ventricular function, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary pressure. Multiplanar 2D TEE enables systematic assessment of ASD size, morphology, and surrounding septal rims, while measurements obtained in different planes may reveal substantial differences and highlight the limitations of single\u2010plane sizing. 3D TEE provides an en\u2010face spatial representation of the interatrial septum and complements 2D measurements by defining defect geometry, rim relationships, and suitability for transcatheter closure. Haemodynamic assessment should integrate right ventricular volume overload, shunt magnitude, pulmonary vascular status, and left ventricular disease rather than defect diameter alone. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance or cardiac computed tomography may provide complementary information when echocardiography is insufficient to define pulmonary venous connections, anatomy, or haemodynamics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic multimodality echocardiographic approach integrates anatomical and physiological information throughout the management of adult secundum ASD.
