Why the study?
Does percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects alter right ventricular function as assessed by 2D strain in adult patients?
Does percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects alter right ventricular function as assessed by 2D strain in adult patients?
Two-dimensional strain imaging is a useful tool for assessing right ventricular function and its response to volume overload correction following percutaneous ASD closure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support 2D strain monitoring of RV recovery after ASD closure; extends observational data but leaves open prospective outcome trials.
Jategaonkar et al. (2009) studied this question.
