  1. Pvalue1: ASD data (24 h after closure) in comparison with Pre-closure
  2. Pvalue2: ASD data (1 month after closure) in comparison with Pre-closure
  3. Pvalue3: ASD data (1 month after closure) in comparison with 24 h after closure
  4. Continues data were presented as mean ± SE. P < 0.05 was considered significant, and < 0.001 was considered highly significant. Paired two-tailed t test was used for comparison between the different stages
  5. Pre-closure before ASD device closure, Post-closure 1 1 day after ASD device closure, Post-closure 2 1 month after the intervention, LAD left atrial diameter, LVEDD left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, RVEDD right ventricular end-diastolic diameter, Septal e′ early diastolic velocity of septal mitral annulus motion, TAPSE tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, RVSP right ventricular systolic pressure, Qp/Qs systemic/pulmonary blood flow
