I am 32, female.  Cardio discovered Sept. 2007 with Echo that I have an Atrial septal Aneurysm and suggested that I start taking bloodthinners to avoid bloodclots from forming.  I have no idea how big the ASA is.

Is it something that I was born with? will it get bigger and cause problems in the future?
