Intra Atrial shunt is inefficient in preventing heart failure
Surgical interventions are used timely in need of emergency to manage cardiac diseases. More than one-half of people with heart failure (HF) have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Placement of an interatrial shunt device is said to reduce pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during exercise in patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction.

Surgical interventions are used timely in need of emergency to manage cardiac diseases. More than one-half of people with heart failure (HF) have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Placement of an interatrial shunt device is said to reduce pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during exercise in patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction.
Trial REDUCE LAP- HF-II reported that placement of an atrial shunt device did not reduce the total rate of heart failure events or improve health status in the overall population of patients with heart failure and ejection fraction of greater than or equal to 40%, published in The Lancet.
