Comparison of the changes in left ventricular diastolic function (septal e′ velocity) after ASD device closure between the 2 age groups and along the time course before and after closure. A linear chart of septal e′ velocity changes from baseline towards 24 h and 1 month post-closure in children and adolescent group-1 and marked reduction with abnormal values (7.63, 7.98 cm/s) in adult group-2 (G1-Δ1 − 1.09 cm/s versus G2-Δ1 − 3.18 cm/s, P = 0.019). Δ1 = difference between 24 h post-ASD device closure and baseline values. **A highly significant difference between the 1st and 2nd groups after 24 h of ASD device closure in septal e′ velocity (P < 0.001). *A significant difference between the 2 groups after 1 month of ASD device closure (P = 0.001). Group-1: children and adolescent with ASD who underwent closure at age ≤ 19 years old; group-2: adult with ASD who underwent closure at age > 19 years old. ASD, atrial septal defect; septal e′, early diastolic velocity of septal mitral annulus motion
