Congestive heart failure in children with atrial septal defect
Summary Congestive heart failure or severe symptoms of physical disability, growth retardation, and frequent pulmonary infections may occur in children with preoperative diagnosis limited to that of atrial septal defect. At operation these patients may be found to have additional lesions demanding operative correction.

Heart Rate Behavior in Children with Atrial Septal Defect
The aim of this study was to assess heart rate variability, a noninvasive parameter for studying the neurohumoral control of heart rate, in children with atrial septal defect. We examined five time-domain and three frequency-domain indices of heart rate variability determined from 24-hour Holter recordings in 20 children, aged 3–14 years, with secundum

Certain congenital heart defects require the creation of an unrestrictive atrial septal defect (ASD) to relieve atrial hypertension, to maintain systemic cardiac output, or to achieve adequate atrial mixing to improve systemic oxygen saturation. We describe a series of patients, ranging in age from 5 weeks to 17 months, in whom we implanted a stent ...
