Implication
No study data presented; leaves open whether isolated atrial septum aneurysm alters left atrial function.
Structured PICO
Does isolated atrial septum aneurysm alter left atrium and left atrial appendage function compared to healthy subjects?
P
Population
42 subjects, comprising 25 patients with isolated atrial septum aneurysm (ASA) and 17 clinically healthy controls.
C
Comparator
Clinically healthy subjects
O
Outcome
Left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) echocardiographic parameterssurrogate
Patients with atrial septum aneurysm exhibit impaired left atrial systolic function but enhanced left atrial appendage function, suggesting thrombi likely originate in the aneurysm sac rather than the appendage.
