Secundum atrial septal defect
A 20-year-old woman presented for evaluation of palpitations and one episode of near syncope after exertion. Her past medical history was remarkable only for a diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma. She was involved in competitive sports at her University, participating on the track team. She denied any chest discomfort, dyspnea at rest, or perceived exercise limitation. She had never had lower ...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect in the elderly.
Background and Objectives: With the exception of bicuspid aortic valves, atrial septal defects (ASDs) are the most common congenital heart lesions found in adults. A mortality and morbidity benefit has clearly been demonstrated in the treatment of this lesion in younger patients. However, the benefits of ASD closure are less well defined in the elderly. We report our experience with transcathet...
متن کاملeccentricity index identifies the severity of left to right shunt in patients with secundum type atrial septal defect
conclusions we found that ei and qp/qs ratio are significantly and positively associated and qp/qs ratio can be easily estimated by measuring ei in secundum type asd patients. background one of the inclusion criteria for applying atrial septal defect (asd) closing procedure is an increased pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (qp/qs). eccentricity index (ei) is associated with ventricular dys...
متن کاملPhonocardiographic analysis of diastolic flow murmurs in secundum atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.
The presence oflow frequency diastolic murmurs, presumably due to increased flow through the respective atrio-ventricular valves, has been recognized in patients with atrial and ventricular septal defects for many years. The murmur in ventricular septal defect was reported by Laubry and Pezzi in 1921 and emphasized by Wood (1950). A publication from this institute drew attention to this phenome...
متن کاملtransesophageal echocardiographic characteristics of secundum-type atrial-septal defect in adult patients
background: given the dearth of data in the existing literature on the size and morphologic variability of secundum-type atrial-septal defect (asd-ii) in adult patients, we aimed to address this issue in a series of consecutive adult patients evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography (tee). methods: a total of 50 patients (68.0% female) with isolated asd-ii underwent tee for the evaluation ...
