Short- and long-term haemodynamic consequences of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale

CONCLUSION: Older patients and patients with AF were predisposed to sustained increases in left-sided filling pressures resembling HFpEF following ASD or PFO closure. Consequently, these findings support the current concept that creating a restricted interatrial shunt might be beneficial, particularly in elderly HFpEF patients with AF.PMID:33594591 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-021-01543-0
