Objectives
The closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) results in normalized left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) geometry, and can increase LV stroke volume (LVSV), but the parameters associated with this increase after the closure of ASD remain uncertain.
Methods
Seventy ASD patients, who underwent transcatheter closure, were studied. Their mean age was 57.80 ± 16.88 years, 42 (60%)...
BackgroundTranscatheter closure is a well‐established treatment for patients with atrial septal defect (ASD), but long‐term outcome prognostic factors for adults have not been fully identified yet.
MethodsForty‐nine consecutive patients (age 57 ± 17 years, 59% female), who underwent transcatheter closure of ASD, were the subjects of this study. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed before...
