TL;DR
Closing atrial septal defects in elderly patients with complex heart conditions can improve heart function and overall health.
Contribution
Demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of ASD closure in elderly patients with arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension.
Findings
ASD closure in elderly patients improves right ventricular remodeling.
ASD closure is feasible in older patients with arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension.
Clinical and hemodynamic status improves after ASD closure.
Abstract
•ASD closure in elderly patients improves RV remodeling.•ASD closure is feasible in older patients with arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension.•Clinical and hemodynamic status is improved after ASD closure. ASD closure in elderly patients improves RV remodeling. ASD closure is feasible in older patients with arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension. Clinical and hemodynamic status is improved after ASD closure.
