| Summary: | Background : Atrial septal defect is one of the most
common congenital cardiac anomaly which are frequently
diagnosed in adults also with the increasing in
pulmonary hypertension in the patients. Hence, a
research needs to be done to see whether atrial septal
defect correlates with the mean pulmonary artery
pressure.
Objectives : The objective of this study is to find out
the correlation between diameter of atrial septal
defect and mean pulmonary artery pressure.
Method : This was a retrospective study using the data
from atrial septal defect registry. The survey was
conducted in Department of Cardiology and Vascular
Medicine FM UGM and Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta.
The data analysis was done in December 2013 using IBM
SPSS 20.
Result : There is no significant correlation between
diameter of atrial septal defect and the mean pulmonary
artery pressure. Pearson correlation test shows weak
and positive correlation (r = 0.127), however the
correlation is not significant (p=0.204).
Conclusion: On the basis of the result obtained in this
study, it may be concluded that there is no
statistically significant regarding the correlation
between diameter atrial septal defect and mean
pulmonary artery pressure. |
