2D-TTE of the RVGLS changes in an ASD case before and after device closure. a Hyperkinetic RV before ASD device closure with RVGLS in apical 4 chambers view (− 33.4%). b Reduction in RVGLS at 24 h post-ASD device closure in the same view (− 32.4%). c Progressive insignificant reduction in RVGLS 1 month post-ASD device closure in the same view (− 29.6%). AP4L, apical 4 chambers longitudinal view; ApL, apical lateral; ApS, apical septum; AVC, aortic valve closure; BAL, basal anterolateral; BIS, basal inferoseptal; MAL, mid-anterolateral; MIS, mid-septum; ASD, atrial septal defect; GLS, global longitudinal strain; RV, right ventricle
