Although previous studies showed that transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can be used to guide transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD), whether TTE can be used to guide transcatheter closure of secundum ASD with a deficient superior-anterior rim is unknown and this critical issue was addressed in the present study. A total of 280 patients with secundum ASD who underwent transcatheter ASD closure were recruited and divided into groups A and B depending on ASD superior-anterior rim>4 mm (n = 118) or ≤4 mm (n = 162). TTE was used to guide Amplatzer-type septal occluder (ASO) positioning and assess residual shunt. Procedure success was defined as no, trivial and small residual shunt immediately after the procedure as assessed by color Doppler flow imaging. Group A and group B did not differ in complication rate (8.55% vs.7.55%), procedure success rate (98.3% vs. 95.0%) or complete closure rate immediately after the procedure (89.7% vs. 89.3%) or at 6-month follow-up (98.3% vs. 96.8%). The mean procedure and fluoroscopy time in group B were much longer than those in group A. In conclusion, the absence of a sufficient superior-anterior rim in patients undergoing percutaneous closure of secundum-type ASDs using fluoroscopic and TTE guidance is associated with slightly greater device malposition and migration as well as increased procedural and fluoroscopic times, but the overall complication rate did not differ with TTE guidance when compared to historical controls that used TEE guidance. 相似文献

At present, it is unknown why patients suffering from severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) benefit from atrial septostomy (AS). Suggested mechanisms include enhanced filling of the left ventricle, reduction of right ventricular preload, increased oxygen availability in the peripheral tissue, or a combination. A multiscale computational model of the cardiovascular system was used to assess the effects of AS in PH. Our model simulates beat-to-beat dynamics of the four cardiac chambers with valves and the systemic and pulmonary circulations, including an atrial septal defect (ASD). Oxygen saturation was computed for each model compartment. The acute effect of AS on systemic flow and oxygen delivery in PH was assessed by a series of simulations with combinations of different ASD diameters, pulmonary flows, and degrees of PH. In addition, blood pressures at rest and during exercise were compared between circulations with PH before and after AS. If PH did not result in a right atrial pressure exceeding the left one, AS caused a left-to-right shunt flow that resulted in decreased oxygenation and a further increase of right ventricular pump load. Only in the case of severe PH a right-to-left shunt flow occurred during exercise, which improved left ventricular preload reserve and maintained blood pressure but did not improve oxygenation. AS only improves symptoms of right heart failure in patients with severe PH if net right-to-left shunt flow occurs during exercise. This flow enhances left ventricular filling, allows blood pressure maintenance, but does not increase oxygen availability in the peripheral tissue. 相似文献

Inorder to study the hemodynamic variables involving the magnitude, direction, and timing of phasic shunt flow, both the interatrial pressure gradient and blood flow along with other pertinent hemodynamic variables were measured instantaneously across a surgically created atrial septal defect (ASD) in seven awake dogs. Atrial and ventricular pacing and infusion of phenylephrine and isoproterenol were used to alter hemodynamic conditions. The wave form of phasic ASD flow was similar both in configuration and timing to the interatrial pressure gradient. During the cardiac cycle, both left-to-right (L-R) and right-to-left (R-L) shunting occurred: atrial contraction augmented L-R flow; the onset of ventricular contraction was associated with R-L flow; during the latter part of ventricular contraction, flow returned to L-R with the maximum L-R shunting occurring in early diastole. Tachycardia, infusion of phenylephrine and isoproterenol did not alter the phasic flow pattern. Both spontaneous and positive pressure respiration decreased net L-R shunting. 相似文献

Background
MEK1 mutation and activated MAPK signaling has been found in patients with RASopathies and abnormal cardiac development. Previous studies have suggested that regulation of fetal MAPK signaling is essential for normal cardiac development. We investigated the effect of active MEK1 overexpression on fetal atrial septal development.Methods and results
An inducible double transgenic (DTg) mouse model was developed in which cardiac-specific fetal expression of a constitutively active form of human MEK1 (aMEK1) was induced primarily in the atrium via the withdrawal of doxycycline from the drinking water of pregnant mice. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was found in 51% (23/45) of DTg mice. Fifty-two percent (12/23) of ASD mice died before weaning, and surviving ASD mice exhibited hypertrophic hearts with enlarged right atria and decreased fractional shorting (40?±?2% vs. 48?±?0%, p?<?0.05). The model mimicked human ASD in several key clinical features: severe ASD was associated with growth impairment; ASD-specific mortality was highest within the early postnatal period; despite an even distribution of ASD among the sexes, early mortality was significantly higher in males. The expression of aMEK1 and increased phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was documented via Western blot in DTg fetal hearts, with the largest increases seen in atrial tissue. In an alternative transgenic aMEK1 model with elevated atrial MKP3 expression and corresponding suppression of increases in ERK1/2 phosphorylation, animals did not develop ASD.Conclusion
This new model of ASD suggests that enhanced atrial MEK1-ERK1/2 signaling during fetal development disrupts normal atrial septation, possibly regulated by the balance of ERK1/2 phosphorylation.7.

Percutaneous MitraClip placement for treatment of severe mitral regurgitation in high surgical risk patients is a commonly performed procedure and requires a transseptal puncture to reach the left atrium. The resulting iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD) is not routinely closed, yet the haemodynamic and functional consequences of a persisting defect are not fully understood. Despite positive effects such as acute left atrial pressure relief, persisting iASDs are associated with negative consequences, namely significant bidirectional shunting and subsequent worse clinical outcome. Percutaneous closure of the iASD may therefore be desirable in selected cases. In this review we discuss the available literature on this matter. 相似文献

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common type of congenital heart disease, which is defined as any communication through atrial septum. Several studies have revealed that genetic factors may influence the susceptibility of ASD. Recent studies have shown that reticulon 4 (RTN4) gene might be involved in some processes relevant to heart development, such as regulation of cell migration and vascular remodeling. This study aimed to evaluate RTN4 gene polymorphisms of CAA and TATC insertion/deletion in relation to the risk of ASD in Chinese Han population. A total of 175 ASD patients and 308 unrelated healthy controls were successfully investigated. The polymorphisms of patients were determined by polymerase chain reaction-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. There was no significant difference in the allele frequencies of CAA and TATC insertion/deletion in RNT4 gene between ASD patients and controls. The same results were seen in their genotypes. The present study suggests that CAA and TATC insertion/deletion polymorphisms of RNT4 gene may not be a useful marker to predict the susceptibility of ASD in Chinese Han population. 相似文献

The authors report on three Sicilian families with 17 individuals (10 females and 7 males) in successive generations affected by atrial septal defect of ostium secundum type (S-ASD) without conduction defect. The anomaly was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Cytoplasmic inheritance could be excluded, the anomaly being transmitted also by fathers. Familial S-ASD is probably more frequent than commonly reported since cardiological examination of the relatives is not routinely performed in every case of apparently sporadic ASD. 相似文献

Forty percent of people with Down syndrome exhibit heart defects, most often an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and less frequently a ventricular septal defect (VSD) or atrial septal defect (ASD). Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were established from lymphocytes of individuals with trisomy 21, the chromosomal abnormality causing Down syndrome. Gene expression profiles generated from DNA microarrays of LCLs from individuals without heart defects (CHD(-); n?=?22) were compared with those of LCLs from patients with cardiac malformations (CHD(+); n?=?21). After quantile normalization, principal component analysis revealed that AVSD carriers could be distinguished from a combined group of ASD or VSD (ASD+VSD) carriers. From 9,758 expressed genes, we identified 889 and 1,016 genes differentially expressed between CHD(-) and AVSD and CHD(-) and ASD+VSD, respectively, with only 119 genes in common. A specific chromosomal enrichment was found in each group of affected genes. Among the differentially expressed genes, more than 65% are expressed in human or mouse fetal heart tissues (GEO dataset). Additional LCLs from new groups of AVSD and ASD+VSD patients were analyzed by quantitative PCR; observed expression ratios were similar to microarray results. Analysis of GO categories revealed enrichment of genes from pathways regulating clathrin-mediated endocytosis in patients with AVSD and of genes involved in semaphorin-plexin-driven cardiogenesis and the formation of cytoplasmic microtubules in patients with ASD-VSD. A pathway-oriented search revealed enrichment in the ciliome for both groups and a specific enrichment in Hedgehog and Jak-stat pathways among ASD+VSD patients. These genes or related pathways are therefore potentially involved in normal cardiogenesis as well as in cardiac malformations observed in individuals with trisomy 21. 相似文献

31 years lady with complete atrioventricular canal defect, large primum atrial septal defect (ASD), inlet ventricular septal defect (VSD) and Eisenmenger syndrome, presented with atrial flutter and complete heart block. She was not suitable for corrective cardiac surgery and not yet indicated for heart-lung transplantation. She was advised single chamber permanent pacemaker and eventually Micra VR transcatheter leadless pacemaker was finalised for her. Transcatheter leadless pacemaker was deployed in her RV septum despite some unforeseen technical problems. This patient had intrahepatic interruption of IVC with Azygous continuation draining into SVC but this altered venovascular course was detected only fluoroscopically midway during the pacemaker implantation procedure and this was not detected in the preprocedural transthoracic echocardiography. This abnormal venous course was clearly demonstrated in the cardiac CT which was performed only after completion of the pacemaker implantation procedure in this patient. The technical challenges encountered mainly were mostly during the manipulation of the 27F delivery catheter of Micra through this altered cardiovascular anatomy via transfemoral approach and also due to the presence of septal defects. Thus, transcatheter leadless permanent pacemaker was implanted successfully through transfemoral access in this complex congenital heart disease with interrupted IVC and azygous continuation. Besides transthoracic echocardiography, it may be better to perform transesophageal echocardiography or even preferably radiological imaging like cardiac CT or MRI prior to transcatheter leadless pacemaker implantation in patients with complex congenital heart disease to understand the cardiovascular anatomy and plan the procedure. 相似文献

Newborn A/J and CL/Fr mice with congenital cleft lip usually have an atrial septal defect of the secundum type, often associated with cyanosis. Their littermates without cleft lip rarely have a septal defect. The atrial septal defect results from a delay in growth of the atrial septum primum. 相似文献

In animal models of conotruncal heart defects, an abnormal calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus and a depressed L-type calcium current have been described. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) is a membrane protein that catalyzes the ATP-dependent transport of Ca(2+) from the cytosol to the SR. The activity of SERCA is inhibited by phospholamban (PLN) and sarcolipin (SLN), and all these proteins participate in maintaining the normal intracellular calcium handling. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are the major SR calcium-release channels required for excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Our objective was to evaluate SERCA2a (i.e., the SERCA cardiac isoform), PLN, SLN, and RyR2 (i.e., the RyR isoform enriched in the heart) gene expression in myocardial tissue of patients affected by tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a conotruncal heart defect. The gene expression of target genes was assessed semiquantitatively by RT-PCR using the calsequestrin (CASQ, a housekeeping gene) RNA as internal standard in the atrial myocardium of 23 pediatric patients undergoing surgical correction of TOF, in 10 age-matched patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and in 13 age-matched children with atrial septal defect (ASD). We observed a significantly lower expression of PLN and SLN in TOF patients, while there was no difference between the expression of SERCA2a and RyR2 in TOF and VSD. These data suggest a complex mechanism aimed to enhance the intracellular Ca(2+) reserve in children affected by tetralogy of Fallot. 相似文献

Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are an effective therapeutic option for end-stage heart failure patients as a bridge to cardiac transplantation in those who deteriorate despite maximal therapy and when a donor heart is not ready available. In some patients, cardiac recovery has been reported while supported by an LVAD. In this case report, we describe a 29-year-old female who was admitted to our centre because of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Despite intensive treatment with intravenous inotropes and intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation she had a persisting low cardiac index and an LVAD was implanted. In the months following implantation the left ventricular systolic function improved and the left ventricular dimensions normalised. Eventually the LVAD could be ex-planted nine months after implantation. At this moment, three years after explantation, echo-cardiography shows a normal-sized left ventricle and almost completely recovered systolic function. (Neth Heart J 2008;16:426-8). 相似文献

Objective. To evaluate the safety and effect of transcatheter device closure in ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASD II) in patients aged 40 years and older.Methods. Retrospective single-centre study concerning 47 consecutive ASD transcatheter occlusion procedures performed between January 1999 and December 2008. Electrocardiography, echocardiography and clinical assessments of the patients were conducted pre- and post-intervention and at follow-up.Results. Of the 130 patients who were referred for interventional ASD closure, 47 were 40 years and older and all of them actually had the device inserted. There were no major complications during the intervention. Mean follow-up time was 15±15 months. During follow-up, three patients needed surgical reintervention because of device embolisation (n=2) or dislocation (n=1). Of the patients with severe right ventricular (RV) dilatation, more than half (58%) had no or mild dilatation at last follow-up. Reduction of RV dilatation was not related to age. Pulmonary hypertension was present in 63% before the procedure and was reduced to 38% at follow-up. NYHA class improved in all age groups, also in patients over 60 years of age. In two of the three patients who died during follow-up, no cause of death could be established, but both had responded well to treatment regarding the echocardiographic and clinical findings.Conclusion. Transcatheter device closure of ASD is a successful and effective treatment, also for patients aged 40 years and older. Patients showed regression of right ventricular enlargement and an improvement in functional class. (Neth Heart J 2010;18:537–42.) 相似文献

In comparison to other classes of chickens, broilers selected for rapid growth tend to be hypoxaemic, and many develop congestive heart failure (CHF). In order to explain the physiological mechanisms associated with hypoxaemia in fast-growing broiler chickens (Gallus gallus), this study examined several basic physiological parameters including the blood gas profile in arterial [left atrial (LA)] and mixed venous [right atrial (RA)] blood, systemic oxygen extraction ratio, and intrapulmonary shunt fraction. These parameters were further studied in the context of blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, structural characteristics of the lungs, and cardiac function [measured as cardiac index (CI)]. Overall, broilers had lower arterial and mixed venous blood pO(2) levels and higher pCO(2) levels compared to leghorns. The cardiac index was lower in fast-growing and CHF broilers compared to leghorn chickens or feed-restricted broilers. Systemic oxygen extraction ratio (ER) and intrapulmonary shunt fraction were significantly higher in fast-growing broilers and birds with CHF (all P<0.01). Lungs of all broilers, but not leghorns, contained ectopic, irregular nodular formations located within air spaces. Broilers with clinical signs of hypoxaemia revealed the highest number of these formations in their lung. Taken together, the present findings indicate that key factors associated with the development of hypoxaemia in fast-growing broilers include: (1) high demand for oxygen as evidenced by high oxygen ER; (2) inadequate cardiac output (CO) to fulfill the higher oxygen demands, leading to severe depletion of O(2) in mixed venous blood; and (3) elevated intrapulmonary shunt fraction and possibly dead space associated with specific pathological and anatomical characteristics within the lung. 相似文献

The case histories of seven infants with atrial septal defect are presented to draw attention to certain features and possible dangers of this defect in infancy. Four infants were asymptomatic but one failed to thrive and two died suddenly. Five had ejection murmurs and two, with pulmonary hypertension, had loud pan-systolic murmurs with a thrill. In two infants murmurs were noted at birth, but in five they were first heard between the ages of 1 and 6 months. The second pulmonary sound was initially narrowly split in all, but became widely split between the ages of 12 and 20 months. Electrocardiograms and chest roentgenograms were of little help at the outset but later showed findings characteristic of the defect after one year. All infants were catheterized; a left-to-right atrial shunt was detected in each instance. Pulmonary hypertension was present in two infants, one of whom died. 相似文献

GATA4 is expressed early in the developing heart where it plays a key role in regulating the expression of genes encoding myocardial
contractile proteins. Gene mutations in the human GATA4 have been implicated in various congenital heart defects (CHD), including atrial septal defect (ASD). Although ASD is the
third most common CHD in humans, it is generally rare in dogs and cats. There is also no obvious predilection for ASD in dogs
and cats, based on sex or breed. However, among dogs, the incidence rate of ASD is relatively high in Samoyeds and Doberman
Pinschers, where its inheritance and genetic aetiology are not well understood. In this study, we identified and investigated
the genetic aetiology of an ASD affected family in a pure breed dog population. Although the GATA4 gene was screened, we did not find any mutations that would result in the alteration of the coding sequence and hence, the
predicted GATA4 structure and function. Although the aetiology of ASD is multifactorial, our findings indicate that GATA4 may not be responsible for the ASD in the dogs used in this study. However, this does not eliminate GATA4 as a candidate for ASD in other dog breeds. 相似文献
