Role of Doppler Echocardiography for Cardiac Output Assessment in Fontan Patients
Conclusion Doppler SVI correlated with CMRI SVI in patients with systemic LV and systemic RV. The association between output measures (SVI and CI) and FAD were seen only in single LV patients (single RV patients not assessed for this outcome due to small numbers). An association between low Doppler CI and Fontan failure was suggested in a small number of single LV patients.

Outcomes in Adult Fontan Patients with Atrial Tachyarrhythmias
Conclusions CA and FC operations are associated with less recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia compared with AAD. Atrial tachyarrhythmias are more likely to recur in patients with a longer history of the arrhythmia, and are associated with more adverse events. Early referral to a specialty center for these interventions should be considered.
