Role of Doppler echocardiography for cardiac output assessment in Fontan patients

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 echocardio...

Description
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
