Association of cardiac adaptations with NT-proBNP levels after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect.

CONCLUSION: Percutaneous ASD closure can lead to both early and sustained changes in cardiac anatomy and function involving both sides of the heart. The NT-proBNP level had increased at 24 hours post procedure, and was also notably increased 30 days after the percutaneous ASD closure, which is associated with increased LV diameter and volume.
