Abstract

Objective: Sleep quality in those with cardiovascular disease is significantly lower than in the general population. This study aimed to explore the effect of transcatheter or surgical closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) on sleep quality.

Methods: One hundred nineteen adult patients with ASD who underwent transcatheter or surgical closure were included in the study. Sleep quality was investigated prospectively just before defect closure and six months after defect closure. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality of these patients.

Results: PSQI scores were similar in both groups before the procedure in patients who underwent both transcatheter and surgical closure. The PSQI scores six months after transcatheter closure was significantly improved compared to the PSQI score before transcatheter ASD closure (3.5 ± 2.0 vs. 6.9 ± 3.4, respectively; P<0.001). The PSQI scores six months after surgical ASD closure was significantly improved compared to the PSQI score before surgical closure (4.8 ± 2.1 vs. 7.1 ± 2.0, respectively; P<0.001). Total PSQI scores were also statistically different at six months after transcatheter and surgical closure (3.5 ± 2.0 vs. 4.8 ± 2.1, P=0.014). However, six months after both transcatheter and surgical closure, PSQI scores were significantly decreased in both groups which was more pronounced in patients who underwent transcatheter closure.

Conclusion: Transcatheter or surgical closure of the defect may be beneficial in improving the sleep quality of adult patients with ASD. Delayed improvement of sleep quality after surgical closure may be an important advantage for transcatheter closure.
