Why the study?
Are there differences in ventricular volume, ejection fraction, and ventricular mass between left ventricular type and right ventricular type single ventricles?

Supports comparable function by morphology; leaves open differences in mass or long-term outcomes.
Are there differences in ventricular volume, ejection fraction, and ventricular mass between left ventricular type and right ventricular type single ventricles?
There are no significant differences in ventricular volume or ejection fraction between left and right ventricular types of single ventricle when evaluated by biplane selective ventriculography.
Sano et al. (1988) studied this question.
