Effects of ACE inhibitor and afterload reduction in single ventricles following bidirectional Glenn

BDG patients treated with ACEI did not demonstrate decreased SPC. There was a suggestion of no improvement of ventricular performance. Cerebral blood flow is decreased in BDG on ACEI using SVC flow. Findings suggest that routine ACEI use in single ventricle patients post BDG should be considered with caution and age-appropriate and clear indications along with measurable therapeutic targets should be considered.

Abstract

BDG patients treated with ACEI did not demonstrate decreased SPC. There was a suggestion of no improvement of ventricular performance. Cerebral blood flow is decreased in BDG on ACEI using SVC flow. Findings suggest that routine ACEI use in single ventricle patients post BDG should be considered with caution and age-appropriate and clear indications along with measurable therapeutic targets should be considered.
