Relationship between pulmonary artery pressure and age in patients with secundum ASD. (A) Pulmonary artery pressure correlates with patient age. Note there is an exponential increase in pulmonary artery pressure above age 60. (Reprinted with permission from Humenberger M, et al. European Heart Journal 2011;36:553-560. (B) Pulmonary artery pressure improves after ASD closure regardless of patient age. (Reprinted with permission from Yalonetsky S, et al. Congenit Heart Dis 2009; 4: 17-20). ASD = atrial septal defect.
