Abstract

Objective:

In this study, we assessed the acute changes in biventricular longitudinal strain after atrial septal defect transcatheter closure and its relation to the device size.

Methods:

Hundred atrial septal defect patients and 40 age-matched controls were included. Echocardiography and strain study were performed at baseline and 24 hours and 1 month after the intervention. The study group was divided into two subgroups; group 1: smaller devices were used (mean device size = 1.61 ± 0.05 cm, n = 74) and group 2: larger devices were used (mean device size = 2.95 ± 0.07 cm, n = 26).

Results:

At baseline, there was a significant difference between the study group and controls as regards right ventricular global longitudinal strain with significant hyperkinetic apex (p = 0.033, p = 0.020, respectively). There was a significant immediate reduction in right ventricular global longitudinal strain (from −24.43 ± 0.49% to −21.62 ± 0.47%, p < 0.001), which showed insignificant improvement after 1-month follow-up. While only left ventricular global longitudinal strain increased after 1 month. Within 24 hours of device closure, all the basal- and mid-lateral segments strains and apical right ventricular strains showed a significant reduction. There was a significant negative correlation between the indexed large device size and an immediate change in the right ventricular global longitudinal strain (r = −0.425, p = 0.034).

Conclusion:

Significant right ventricular global longitudinal strain reduction starts as early as 24 hours after transcatheter closure, irrespective of the device size used. The rapid impact of closure was mainly on the biventricular basal and lateral segments and right ventricular apical ones, especially with the large sized atrial septal defect.
