Effects of Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale on Atrial Fibrillation

09/05/2008

Atrial arrhythmias are known to be associated with atrial septal defects (ASDs). The surgical closure of ASDs can also eliminate atrial arrhythmias, and on some occasions, can induce new arrhythmias.

Atrial arrhythmias are known to...
