The effect of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure by using larger devices on the improvement in biventricular function remains an area of active research. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to assess the degree of improvement in biventricular dimensions and function by using 2-Dimensional echocardiography derived Strain and Strain Rate and Tissue Doppler. Moreover, to identify the relationship between the left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function and device size.
