Adverse fibrosis remodeling and aortopulmonary collateral flow are associated with poor Fontan outcomes – Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Background The extent and significance in of cardiac remodeling in Fontan patients are unclear and were the subject of this study. Methods This retrospective cohort study compared cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging markers of cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis, and hemodynamics in young Fontan patients to controls. Results Fifty-five Fontan patients and 44 healthy controls were…
