Natural History of Secundum ASD in Preterm and Term Neonates: A Comparative Study
Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are common in neonates. Although past studies suggest ASDs  ≥ 3 mm in term neonates (TNs) are less likely to close,...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Children with Atrial Septal Defects Improves After Closure by Means of Increased Hydraulic Force
Hydraulic force aids diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV) by facilitating basal movement of the atrioventricular plane. The short-axis...
