ASD is associated with all of the following features, except:

A
Right atrial hyperophy
B
Pulmonary aerial hypeension
C
Left atrial hyperophy
D
Right ventricular hyperophy
High-Yield Explanation
Left atrial hyperophy or dilatation is not seen in ASD, instead it is seen in Mitral stenosis. In ASD, left atrium has two outflow tracts. One into L.V through mitral valve and the other into R.A through ASD. These two outflow tracts cause resistance against which the L.A pump is decreased, thus explaining absence of LA hyperophy.
