In two patients, pre- or post-TRV were not measurable. ASD, atrial septal defect; e’, early diastolic septal mitral annular velocity; E/e’, ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to e’; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; LA, left atrial; LV, left ventricular; PASP, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; TRV, tricuspid regurgitant velocity.
