Popis: Aims : To analyze functional status and left ventricular (LV) function of adolescents and adults before surgical closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) during the most recent years.Methods and Results : We investigated 68 patients before surgical ASD closure (surgical group) and 95 patients before device ASD closure (device group). New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and echocardiographic variables including LV and right ventricular (RV) size, LV and RV contractility, LV and RV Tei indices, and severity of mitral (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) were determined. Compared to the device group, the surgical group had worse NYHA class and decreased LV and RV function : greater LV volume and RV area, decreased LV and RV contractility, and increased LV Tei index (all p
