Po-04-144 impact of age on atrial arrhythmia outcomes after percutaneous asd closure

Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) are one of the most common congenital heart defects, and if unrepaired, increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). AF/AFL are linked to an increased risk of stroke and heart failure yet, it is not clear from existing data whether percutaneous ASD closure reduces the overall burden of AF/AFL and whether AF/AFL prevalence is impacted by closure age.
