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 variability in patients with atrial septal defect and healthy children [PDF]
Heart rate variability (HRV) measures are altered in various cardiac and non-cardiac situations in children. The autonomic nervous system is assumed to have a role in the pathophysiology of atrial septal defect (ASD). In this study, we evaluated the autonomic system by measuring HRV in children with ASD.Twenty-eight patients with ASD and 32 healthy ...

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

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects. Intracardiac repair via midline sternotomy or right thoracotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass have been considered the standard treatment for the closure of atrial septal defects,

Due to the decline in mortality rates among children with heart disease, a significant number of such children have reached reproductive age. However, since knowledge about the impact of pregnancy on haemodynamics in women with heart disease is limited ...

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 ...

Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect Closure in a 'Nonagenarian' with Intractable Heart Failure
A 92-year-old man was referred to our hospital with decompensated heart failure. He was treated with diuretics and inotropic agents, but the clinical response was unsatisfactory. Echocardiography incidentally revealed an atrial septal defect (ASD) with a significant left-to-right shunt and pulmonary-to-systemic-blood-flow ratio of 2.36. Because the ASD
