Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in right ventricle (RV) and left
ventricle (LV) function after transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure and to assess the influence of the age and the amount of shunt.
Design: Retrospective study
Patients: Fifty-three adult patients who underwent transcatheter closure were enrolled, then
divided into subgroups according to the age (< 40 years vs ≥ 40 years), and the amount of shunt
flow (QpQs < 2.5 vs QpQs ≥ 2.5).
Outcome Measures: Two-dimensional tissue Doppler imaging was performed in a four-chamber
view at the basal ventricular septum (VS) and… More >
