Key result
B-mode and conventional echocardiography successfully visualized the interatrial septum and identified defects in patients with ostium secundum atrial septal defect, which resolved post-surgery.
Why the study?
Can B-mode and conventional echocardiography visualize specific ultrasonic features characteristic of congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect?
Population
Patients with congenital heart diseases and patients with left or right atrial enlargement.

Can B-mode and conventional echocardiography visualize specific ultrasonic features characteristic of congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect?
B-mode and conventional echocardiography are effective imaging modalities for visualizing the interatrial septum and diagnosing congenital heart defects such as atrial septal defects.
Matsumoto et al. (1975) conducted an observational in Congenital heart diseases. B-mode and conventional echocardiography was evaluated on Visualization of interatrial septum and defects. B-mode and conventional echocardiography successfully visualized the interatrial septum and identified defects in patients with ostium secundum atrial septal defect, which resolved post-surgery.
