Analysis demonstrates increased stiffness and shear wave velocities in Fontan circulatory failure, suggesting unique cardiac mechanics.
Our findings suggest that Fontan hearts may be stiffer than normal and that SW velocities are higher in patients with a Fontan circulatory failure. Moreover, SW speed was related to SVP.
