Acute Changes in Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure following the Transcatheter Closure of an Atrial Septal Defect in Adults

Acute changes in left ventricular diastolic function shortly after ASD closure in elderly patients have not been well known. We aimed to investigate acute changes in left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in elderly patients following transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD).All 19 adults with ASDs who underwent transcatheter closure between June 2013 and December 2014 were enrolled. LVEDP was measured prior to device closure...
