Key Components of Favorable Post-Fontan Hemodynamics:
1.Normal ventricular function (systolic and diastolic)
2.Lack of important A-V valve incompetence.
3.Low trans-pulmonary gradient.
Evaluation of Systolic Ventricular function in Univentricular Hearts:
Use a method that is reproducible to allow for serial comparisons
Evaluation of Systolic Ventricular function in Univentricular Hearts:
Left ventricular morphology: routine ejection indices for your lab.
Right ventricular morphology: Mid cavitary two-dimensional area shortening may be most reliable.
Evaluation of Diastolic Ventricular function in Univentricular Hearts:
1.E:A ratios.
2.May use IVRT with ventricles of left ventricular morphology (sufficient proximity between the aortic valve and a A-V valve.
Trans-pulmonary Gradient:
1.Ideal: 3- 5 mm Hg
2.Satisfactory: 6-8 mm Hg
