卵圆孔型房间隔缺损与室间隔缺损成人患者中超声心动图检出心包积液的发生率

Frequency of Circumferential Pericardial Effusion by Echocardiography in Adults With Foramen Ovale Type Atrial Septal Defect Versus Ventricular Septal Defect

继发孔型房间隔缺损伴心包积液已经有许多公开报道。本研究在一成年患者人群中以40例单纯室间隔缺损患者作为对照。

Many published reports have described pericardial effusions in patients with secundum atrial septal defects. This study investigated their associated prevalence echocardiographically using 40 patients with isolated ventricular septal defects as controls in an adult patient population. Pericardial effusions accompanied atrial septal defects in 13 patients and ventricular septal defects in only 3 patients(p< 0.0001). In conclusion,pericardial effusions are much more common(p< 0.005) with uncomplicated secundum atrial septal defects than with uncomplicated ventricular septal defects.
