Strain Measures of Atrial and Ventricular Diastolic Function in Pediatric Fontan Patients: Comparisons to Controls and Between Ventricular Morphology Types

Several atrial and diastolic strain parameters in pediatric Fontan patients are altered compared to controls. Additionally, some metrics are more deranged in RV type Fontan patients. This highlights the need for population-specific normal values in patients with a Fontan circulation. Study of the clinical correlations and prognostic value of these STE-derived parameters is also warranted.

Abstract

Several atrial and diastolic strain parameters in pediatric Fontan patients are altered compared to controls. Additionally, some metrics are more deranged in RV type Fontan patients. This highlights the need for population-specific normal values in patients with a Fontan circulation. Study of the clinical correlations and prognostic value of these STE-derived parameters is also warranted.
