Why the study?
Does the anatomic subtype of hypoplastic left heart syndrome affect right ventricular deformation and dyssynchrony after Fontan surgery?
Does the anatomic subtype of hypoplastic left heart syndrome affect right ventricular deformation and dyssynchrony after Fontan surgery?
There are significant differences in right ventricular deformation and dyssynchrony between different anatomic subtypes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome after Fontan surgery.
Subtype differences in post-Fontan RV mechanics may support tailored surveillance in HLHS; hypothesis-generating for outcome prediction.
Significant differences in regional deformation and intraventricular dyssynchrony exist between the mitral and aortic atresia subtype with small left ventricles and the other anatomic subtypes with larger left ventricles after Fontan surgery.
