Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Non-responders after percutaneous ASD closure will be defined as: - Sustained echocardiographic RV dysfunction after one year (eyeballing, right ventricular fractional area change 2.8 m/s). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The serial evolution of several variables will be investigated, in order to gain more insight in the pathophysiological consequences of volume-load reduction on the right heart: - Biomarkers: NT-proBNP and other biomarkers that may arise to be potentially important during the execution of this study. - Conventional echocardiography: RV dimensions, RV systolic function, LV dimensions, LV systolic and diastolic function; - Speckle tracking echocardiography: global and segmental longitudinal strain of the RV and LV. | — |
