2.Left ventricular dimensions and systolic function by echocardiography before and after atrial septal defect closure
Journal of Medical Research 2008;55(3):6-10
Background: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac defects. Both surgical and catheter occlusion of the defect has been found effective and safe in eliminating interatrial shunting. However, knowledge of the response of the left side of the heart to ASD closure is incomplete. Objective: This study assessed the left side of the heart\u2019s response to ASD closure over a 6-month follow-up period. Subjects and method: 148 patients of ASD ostium secundum with an average age of 26.13 +/- 14.24 years (2-62 years) and the mean ASD size of 24.92 +/- 7.97 mm has been studied by echocardiography before and after atrial septal defect closure. Results: The right ventricular diameter and hemodynamics were improved after ASD closure (p<0.0001). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and volume increased significantly after ASD closure (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The left ventricular systolic function was unaffected by ASD closure. The right side of the heart\u2019s response to ASD closure over 6-month follow-up period decreased significantly (p<0.0001).

Background: Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac diseases, accounting for 20%, and affects the left ventricular function. There is no study on the application of Tei index to evaluate left ventricular function in patients with VSD in Vietnam. Objective:To assess left ventricular function in ventricular septal defect by Tei index. Subject and Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study that involves 35 patients of VSD with an average age of 15.77+/-10.41 (A group: 19 patients of VSD with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs) < 40 mmHg and B group: 16 patients of VSD with PAPs>=40mmHg and control group: 30 normal volunteers). Results: Tei index for estimation of left ventricular function is higher in the VSD (0.50+/- 0.18) than the control (0.37 +/- 0.03) with p < 0.01, exponentially more in the VSD with PAPs >=40mmHg (0.64 +/- 0.15; p<0.01). Conclusion: Left ventricular function is worse in VSD patients in comparison to the healthy people.
