Ventricular‐Arterial Function and Coupling in the Adult Fontan Circulation

Background In adult Fontan patients, ventricular or arterial dysfunction may impact homeostasis of the Fontan circulation and predispose to heart failure. We sought to characterize ventricular‐arterial ( VA ) properties in adult Fontan patients. Methods and Results Adult Fontan patients (n=170), including those with right ( SRV , n=57) and left ( SLV , n=113) dominant ventricular morphology, were compared to age, sex, and body size matched...
