Summary: | To determine (1) correlation between Doppler stroke volume index (SVI) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) SVI and (2) association between Doppler SVI and Fontan-associated diseases (FAD) and Fontan failure.
Review of Fontan patients who underwent same-day CMRI and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), 2005 to 2015. We defined FAD as cardiac thrombus, protein-losing enteropathy, arrhythmia, and hospitalization for heart failure. Fontan failure was defined as Fontan conversion or revision, heart transplantation or listing, or death.
Fifty-three patients with systemic left ventricle (LV) underwent 86 sets of TTE/CMRI. Mean (SD) age 31 (6) years. SVI (45 [16] vs 42 [13] mL/m2), CI (3.0 [1.1] vs 2.8 [0.8] L min−1 m−2), and ejection fraction (53 [4]% vs 51 [5]%) were similar for both modalities (P>.05 for all). Doppler SVI correlated with CMRI (r=0.68; P |
