Background: The long-term impact of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure on right ventricular (RV) remodeling and exercise capacity is unknown.Methods: We studied with cardiopulmonary exercise testing and transthoracic echocardiography 29 adults (age 42.3 +/- 16.4 years) with hemodynamically significant ASD just before transcatheter defect closure and after 6 and >36 months from closure.Results: Compared to 6 months after closure, a further improvement of peak oxygen uptake (p
