Effect of Left Ventricular Morphology on Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Purpose: Right ventricular (RV) failure is a common cause of mortality and transplantation for patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). The left ventricle (LV) morphology and size may affect the RV function before and after Fontan palliation. We sought to assess the impact of LV morphology on RV function in patients with HLHS using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data. Methods: Institutional HLHS registry was...
