Although the left ventricle enlarged with time after ASD closure in all age groups, left ventricular size in older patients never reached that in younger patients. In addition to this inadequate enlargement of the left ventricle, diastolic dysfunction might also result in late left atrial enlargement in older patients following ASD closure.
