Objectives To report outcomes in a pilot study of autologous mitochondrial transplantation
(MT) in pediatric patients requiring postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation …

Purpose To study the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking technique
in evaluation of myocardial amyloidosis. Materials and Methods CMR scans of 28 patients …

The Fontan operation is performed for various cardiac lesions with single-ventricle
physiology. The survival rate of Fontan patients is increasing for adolescents and young …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) morphology has been associated with adverse clinical
outcomes in Fontan patients. The impact of RV versus left ventricular morphology on …

Background Several clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived parameters
have been shown to be associated with death or heart transplant late after the Fontan …

Abstract Background In Fontan patients, attrition of ventricular function is well recognized,
but early detection of ventricular dysfunction is difficult. The aim of this study is to …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has several advantages over
other imaging modalities in adult patients with congenital heart disease. Limitations remain …

Background Patients with single ventricle physiology and Fontan circulation are at increased
risk for late complications and reduced survival. The aim of the study was to investigate the …

Right ventricular (RV) function as assessed by deformation has been evaluated prenatally
and after palliation in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). However, limited data exist …

Survival of children with single ventricle heart defects after the total cavopulmonary
connection (TCPC) has improved, but impaired cardiac function remains a major cause of …
