Background Atrial arrhythmias are well-known complications of atrial septal defect (ASD),
and associated with substantial morbidity. After ASD closure, right atrial and ventricular …

Atrial tachyarrhythmia is a well-known long-term complication of atrial septal defect (ASD) in
adults, even after successful trans-catheter closure. However, the risk factors for early-onset …

BACKGROUND: The long-term risk of atrial fibrillation and flutter (AFF) after trascatheter
atrial septal defects (ASD) closure in adults is unknown. METHODS: We studied 134 …

Objective: To determine whether transcatheter device closure of a secundum atrial septal
defect (ASD) will reduce the risk of developing subsequent atrial arrhythmias. Design: The …

Background Previous studies demonstrated that the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) was
significantly increased when patients aged≥ 40 years had surgical atrial septal defect …

Background: The aim of this study was to prospectively perform ambulatory 24-h ECG
monitoring to assess the effects of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) …

Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) contribute substantially to morbidity in adult patients with
secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs). The purpose of this study was to prospectively …

Objective To evaluate the frequency of and risk factors for stroke as a presenting feature in
adult patients with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD); rates of post-closure atrial fibrillation …

Background New-onset atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) often develops after atrial septal defect
(ASD) closure. Its development raises some potential concerns such as stroke and bleeding …

Aim Data on arrhythmia outcome following device closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) are
lacking. This study provides medium-term follow-up data on atrial arrhythmias in patients …
