Abstract:Objective. To study the possibilities of using echocardiographic parameters of longitudinal mechanics to assess the diastolic function of the systemic ventricle (SV) in patients after Fontan operation.
Material and methods. We examined 29 children aged 8,6 3,16 years with a functionally single ventricle of the heart after performing a total cavopulmonary connection with fenestration of extracardiac conduit. By computed tomography there were evaluated: myocardial mass index (MMI) SV, ejection fraction (E… Show more
