Severely impaired cardiac autonomic nervous activity after the Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Elevated neurohumoral activity and an abnormal cardiopulmonary response to exercise are well-established characteristics in patients after the Fontan operation. However, there have been few studies addressing cardiac autonomic nervous activity (CANA) in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated CANA in 63 post-Fontan patients and 44 controls. Cardiac parasympathetic nervous ...
متن کاملRare venous connection causing severe hypoxia after Fontan operation.
We describe a rare case of cyanosis following the Fontan operation with right-to-left shunting at the venous level, that is, an azygos venous to pulmonary venous connection. Few cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to azygos vein have been reported; however, there have been no reports describing the connection from azygos vein to pulmonary vein, which results in desaturation...
متن کاملGlobal impairment of cardiac autonomic nervous activity late after the Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Atrial tachyarrhythmia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with univentricular physiology undergoing the Fontan operation. We examined cardiac autonomic nervous activity, a predictor of arrhythmia and sudden death in other cardiovascular disease, in patients late after the Fontan operation, employing heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity. METH...
متن کاملVasopressin After the Fontan Operation.
BACKGROUND Prolonged pleural effusion following Fontan operation is common and increases morbidity and hospital length of stay. Vasopressin (VP), a neurohypophysial hormone, has numerous effects on the cardiovascular system. The most notable is increased peripheral vascular resistance, but it may also reduce capillary leakage by tightening endothelial intercellular junctions and reducing capill...
متن کاملOutcome after a "perfect" Fontan operation.
A study was undertaken to determine the early and long-term outcomes dictated by the Fontan state per se (a state in which the force driving pulmonary blood flow is solely or largely a residue, in the systemic venous pressure, of the main ventricular chamber's contractile force) and the transition (by surgery) to it from the state of congenital heart disease under optimal conditions (after a "p...
