Why the study?
Can real-time cross-sectional echocardiography accurately detect mitral deformities in patients with ostium primum atrial septal defect compared to surgical findings?
Can real-time cross-sectional echocardiography accurately detect mitral deformities in patients with ostium primum atrial septal defect compared to surgical findings?
Real-time cross-sectional echocardiography can accurately identify mitral clefts and accessory chordae in patients with ostium primum atrial septal defects, correlating well with surgical findings.
