The functional state of the cardiovascular system in 64 adults with a secondary atrial septal defect and in 120 patients who were operated on for this disease was studied by means of the physical exercise test on a bicycle ergometer. In the late postoperative period, the physical working capacity of patients who underwent operation before the age of 20 years was 92% with respect to that of healthy individuals. The physical working capacity of patients in whom the atrial septal defect was closed after the age of 20 was only 76% as compared to the capacity of healthy individuals. The study showed surgical management of an atrial septal defect to be highly effective. The best functional results in the late postoperative period were produced in patients who were operated on before the age of 20.
通过在自行车测力计上进行体育锻炼测试，研究了64例继发房间隔缺损的成年人以及120例接受此病手术治疗的患者的心血管系统功能状态。在术后晚期，20岁之前接受手术的患者的体力工作能力相对于健康个体为92%。20岁之后闭合房间隔缺损的患者的体力工作能力与健康个体相比仅为76%。该研究表明房间隔缺损的手术治疗非常有效。术后晚期最佳功能结果出现在20岁之前接受手术的患者中。
