Can a Home-based Cardiac Physical Activity Program Improve the Physical Function Quality of Life in Children with Fontan Circulation? [PDF]

, 2016
Objective Patients after Fontan operation for complex congenital heart disease (CHD) have decreased exercise capacity and report reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Studies suggest hospital-based cardiac physical activity programs can improve

The Fontan circulation

, 2022
Children born with a functionally univentricular heart are currently palliated with a series of operations culminating in the Fontan circulation. This unphysiological circulation deteriorates over time, and long-term outcomes regarding morbidity and mortality are dire. This thesis focused on two important topics; one, we investigated predictors for the

Lymphatic Abnormalities in Noonan Syndrome Extend Beyond Clinically Apparent Disease

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lymphatic disease represents a well‐described manifestation of Noonan syndrome (NS), yet the full phenotypic spectrum remains incompletely characterized, especially in asymptomatic individuals. We conducted a cross‐sectional study including 10 individuals with NS (four with peripheral lymphedema and six without) and 10 age‐ and sex‐matched ...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with Fontan circulation: Focus on gaps in care

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2023
Background: Gaps in subspecialty cardiology care could potentially delay identification and care for multi-organ complications common in patients with Fontan circulation.

Results of a phase I/II multi-center investigation of udenafil in adolescents after fontan palliation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The Fontan operation results in a circulation that is dependent on low pulmonary vascular resistance to maintain an adequate cardiac output.

Multiblock High Order Large Eddy Simulation of Powered Fontan Hemodynamics: Towards Computational Surgery [PDF]

, 2017
Children born with only one functional ventricle must typically undergo a series of three surgeries to obtain the so-called Fontan circulation in which the blood coming from the body passively flows from the Vena Cavae (VCs) to the Pulmonary Arteries ...

5D Flow MRI Reveals Respiration‐Driven Changes in Blood Flow Energetics in Congenital Heart Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hemodynamic monitoring is essential for patients with right‐sided congenital heart disease (CHD). Respiration may have an increased impact on pulmonary flow in these patients that cannot be assessed by standard tools including 4D flow MRI. This study uses 5D flow MRI to assess respiratory‐cycle variations in flow energetics in patients

Deriving fontan-specific normative exercise data from well-functioning adolescents

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease
Background: Exercise capacity is reduced in patients with a Fontan circulation compared to their healthy peers secondary to altered haemodynamics of the Fontan circulation.

Use of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Therapies in Patients with a Fontan Circulation: Current Practice Across the United Kingdom

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The Fontan circulation is a successful operative strategy for abolishing cyanosis and chronic volume overload in patients with congenital heart disease with single ventricle physiology. “Fontan failure” is a major cause of poor quality of life
