Structured PICO

Can advanced quantitative echocardiographic assessment of single ventricle function post-Fontan be efficiently and reliably incorporated into routine clinical practice?

Population

100 consecutive patients with a history of Fontan procedure undergoing echocardiography, mean age 11.95±6.8 years (range 17 months-31.3 years).

Intervention

Implementation of a clinical protocol for quantitative echocardiographic measurements of single ventricular function (including SV deformation, MPI, dP/dT, and superior mesenteric artery resistance index) during routine clinical practice.

Outcome

Feasibility and efficiency of completing the protocol (completion rates, time for image acquisition, time to perform deformation measures, time to report completion).

Advanced quantitative echocardiographic assessment of single ventricle function post-Fontan is feasible, efficient, and reliable in routine clinical practice.
