Cardiac MRI in patients with Fontan circulation: assessing risk factors for adverse outcomes
CMR provides critical insights into long-term outcomes in Fontan patients. In our prioritised cohort, characterised by an initially high likelihood of survival, the observed risks of adverse outcomes corroborate findings from higher mortality cohorts. This underscores the importance of myocardial function and native myocardial T1 mapping in risk assessment, reaffirming CMR's role in effective risk stratification for this population.
