Why the study?
Does CMR-derived ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume predict death or transplant in patients late after the Fontan operation?
Does CMR-derived ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume predict death or transplant in patients late after the Fontan operation?
CMR-derived ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume provides incremental prognostic value over clinical symptoms for predicting death or transplant in post-Fontan patients.
May refine post-Fontan risk stratification beyond symptoms; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
CMR-derived ventricular indexed end-diastolic volume is an independent predictor of death or transplant in patients late after the Fontan operation and adds incremental value over clinical symptoms alone for risk stratification.
