Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalance of interatrial communications (IACs) and IAC types in a large series of newborns, to establish the incidence of spontaneous closure of IACs, to determine the relationship between spontaneous closure and the size and type of IACs, and to investigate the incidence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and atrial arrhythmia in newborn infants with atrial septal aneurysm (ASA).
