The relative importance and interactions of CMR-derived parameters of ventricular mechanics in the prediction of death and transplant late after the Fontan operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background We have previously shown that a larger indexed enddiastolic volume (EDVi) of a functional single ventricle as determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is an independent predictor of death and heart transplant late after the Fontan operation. Other reports have suggested that decreased ventricular strain and ejection fraction (EF) are associated with poor outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify the relative importance and interactions of CMR-based parameters for risk of death and transplant after the Fontan operation.

The impact of ventricular morphology on wall stress and ventricular strain in Fontan patients
Background Adverse outcomes are increasingly common in patients after the Fontan operation as they approach adulthood. Right ventricular (RV) morphology, ventricular dilation, and diminished ventricular strain have all been independently associated with death or heart transplant. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ventricular morphology on ventricular stress/strain relationship i...

BACKGROUND Several clinical risk factors for death and heart transplantation have been identified in patients with Fontan circulation. It is unknown whether cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) measurements of ventricular size and function are independently associated with these outcomes and further improve risk stratification. METHODS AND RESULTS Data on patients with Fontan circulation who had ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between myocardial fibrosis identified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and ventricular performance and arrhythmias in patients late after the Fontan operation. BACKGROUND Patients who have undergone the Fontan palliation may develop ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmias, but the mechanisms and risk factors are poorly ...

This study was conducted to assess the incidence of abnormalities of ventricular depolarization (late potentials) in children with sinus rhythm after open heart surgery and their relation to spontaneous ventricular tachycardia. Open heart surgery, particularly operations involving ventriculotomy, may predispose patients to the development of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibri...
