Abstract

Truly long-term follow-up data after transcatheter closure (TC) of atrial septal defects (ASDs) are scarce. We report the 5- to 20-year outcomes of TC and surgical closure (SC) for typical secundum ASD. We reviewed the records of patients with isolated secundum ASD and right ventricular volume overload who underwent TC or SC (January 1, 1986 to September 30, 2005). Follow-up was obtained through a combination of chart review, physician records, and telephone survey. We identified 375 patients (207 SC and 168 TC) and obtained follow-up data >5 years (median follow-up 10 years) for 300 (152 SC, 148 TC). Nine patients have died (3%). The New York Heart Association functional class was unchanged in 227 patients, improved in 25, and was worse in 15. Clinically significant arrhythmia was found in 28 patients (9.3%); 21% aged >40 years developed arrhythmia. On multivariate analysis, the odds of significant arrhythmia tended to be greater in the SC group, but this was statistically insignificant (95% confidence interval 0.68 to 3.9, p = 0.27). Age and preprocedure arrhythmia, but not TC or SC, were independent risk factors for late arrhythmia (p <0.001). No difference was found in the incidence of late, probably embolic, stroke in the ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Discover the latest research on arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
