Background: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart disease which is frequently accompanied by the presence of tricuspid valve regurgitation. Hence, a research is needed to find out the relationship between the diameter of ASD and the severity of the tricuspid valve regurgitation. Objectives: This research is aimed to find out the relationship between the diameter of ASD and the severity of tricuspid valve regurgitation. Method: This was a retrospective study using the data from Atrial Septal Defect Registry. The survey was conducted in Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine FK UGM and Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta. The data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 20 in December 2013. Result: The degree of significance is 0.205 (P=0.205) which showed no statistically significant correlation between the diameter of ASD and the severity of tricuspid valve regurgitation. Slightly increase of the mean diameter of ASD was noticed from mild to moderate to severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant regarding the relationship between the diameter of ASD and the severity of the tricuspid valve regurgitation. However, there is a slightly increase in mean diameter of ASD from mild-moderate-severe tricuspid vale regurgitation.
