TI  - Atrial function after surgical and percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect: 
      a strain rate imaging study.
PG  - 930-3
AB  - The effect of operation and the effect of the imposition of an occluding device 
      on atrial function for patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD) has never been 
      studied. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time both left 
      atrial (LA) and right atrial (RA) function of children after transcatheter ASD 
      closure with that of sex- and age-matched patients with surgically treated ASD, 
      and sex- and age-matched control subjects using strain (epsilon) and epsilon rate 
      imaging (SR). In all, 45 participants formed our studied sample: 15 patients 
      after successful ASD device closure (ASD-D [atrial septal defect device closure] 
      group, mean age: 9 +/- 3 years) and 15 age- and sex-matched patients after 
      successful ASD surgical closure (ASD-S [atrial septal defect surgical closure] 
      group, mean age: 9 +/- 3 years). All patients underwent ASD correction at least 6 
      months before the study. As a control group we selected 15 age- and sex-matched 
      control subjects. In the ASD-S group the peak systolic epsilon and SR values were 
      significantly reduced in both RA and LA when compared with control and ASD-D 
      groups (P < .01). In the ASD-D group there was no significant difference in both 
      LA and RA deformation properties when compared with control subjects. SR imaging 
      indexes could provide new, noninvasive, clinically relevant insight on regional 
      changes in atrial function for patients with ASD. ASD percutaneous closure is 
      useful not only because it is less expensive and invasive than open-heart 
      operation but also for its conservation of both LA and RA regional myocardial 
      properties.
