Diastolic Inflow is Associated with Inefficient Ventricular Flow Dynamics in Fontan Patients

This study utilized cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to evaluate flow characteristics and ventricular hemodynamics for children with single right (hypoplastic left heart syndrome, HLHS) and single left (hypoplastic right heart syndrome, HRHS) systemic ventricle anatomy following Fontan palliation as compared to normal biventricular controls.
