Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a condition that requires early intervention because of the
consequences over the right-side heart. Chronic atrial stretching promotes atrial conduction …

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 …

Atrial septal defect (ASD) represents the most common congenital heart defect identified in
adulthood. Atrial and ventricular geometric remodeling due to intracardiac shunt increase …

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 …

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 Atrial arrhythmias are common in patients with atrial septal defects (ASD) but
the effects of percutaneous closure on atrial arrhythmia prevalence is unclear. We …

Objectives The long-term outcomes after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD)
in adults are reported and compared between age groups and against population control …

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) …

Background: A 24 h Holter study in children after transcatheter secundum ASD (ASD II)
closure was conducted to detect the prevalence of defects and/or device-related late atrial …

Transcatheter device closure of the secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) in children prevents
atrial arrhythmias in older age. However, the benefits of favourable atrial …
