Atrial septal defect (ASD) results in a left‐to‐right shunt causing right‐ventricular (RV) volume overload and decreased cardiac output from the left ventricle. Pressure–volume (PV) loops enable comprehensive assessment of ventricular function and might increase understanding of the pathophysiology of ASD. The aim of this study was to investigate if left‐ventricular (LV) haemodynamic response to stress in patients with ASD differs from controls.
