Abstract

Objective: Outcome of Fontan patients is often complicated by impaired hemodynamics caused by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and/or ventricular stiffness. The influence of respiration and vasodilative agents on vessel flow might be of value to investigate their quality of hemodynamics. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is highly accurate and can measure flow in realtime by generation of respiratory-dependent stroke volumes.
