Abstract: Background: The aim of our study was to determine whether Quality of Life (QoL) in adult patients after surgical treatment of atrial septal defect (ASD II) is different compared with a control group of the same demographic characteristics but without underlying cardiac disease. Material and methods:The initial questionnaires were sent to 226 patients (162 female and 64 male) with the history of ASD II surgically repaired.Only 110 patients responded.The final psychological questionnaires we sent to these patients.We received 68 responses.For assessment of QoL we have used the short form health survey (SF-36) and Psychosomatic Disease Questionnaire.The results of psychological tests were compared with age, gender and education matched control group without underlying cardiac disease.Results: Patients with history of surgically repaired ASD II showed poorer general and physical QoL score and in all subtests of physical functioning.There were no differences in mental health score between groups.The results of Psychosomatic Disease Questionnaire were significantly poorer in cardiac group.Conclusions: The evaluation of surgical treatment results in patients with ASD II is not only long-term survival but also QoL estimation.Increase of physical functioning may be beneficial for global QoL improvement.(Folia Cardiol.2004; 11: 599-606) quality of life, atrial septal defect, surgical treatment WstępUbytek przegrody międzyprzedsionkowej typu drugiego (ASD II, atrial septal defect) jest najczęściej występującą wadą wrodzoną u dorosłych.Stanowi 20-30% wszystkich anomalii wrodzonych serca w tej grupie chorych.Wadę często rozpoznaje się w dorosłym wieku, a przyczyną późnej diagnozy jest jej skąpoobjawowy lub bezobjawowy przebieg [1-3].Chorych po całkowitej korekcji operacyjnej ASD II z punktu widzenia kardiologicznego uważa się za
