Systolic Function in the Fontan Circulation Is Exercise, but Not Preload, Recruitable.

Background: Fontan circulatory failure with impaired systolic function is well documented; however, its mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to explore myocardial functional reserve in adolescent patients with Fontan circulation in response to exercise or acute preload increase.
Methods: The study included 32 patients (median age, 16.
Aim: Children constitute an important and distinct subgroup of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. This population-based cohort study aims to establish current age-specific population incidence, precipitating causes, circumstances, and outcome of paediatric OHCA, to guide a focused approach to prevention and intervention to improve outcomes.
Methods: Data from the national Norwegian Cardiac Arrest Registry was extracted for the six-year period 2016-21 for persons aged <18 years.
The role of dysfunction of the single ventricle in Fontan failure is incompletely understood. We aimed to evaluate hemodynamic responses to preload increase in Fontan circulation, to determine whether circulatory limitations in different locations identified by experimental preload increase are associated with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and to assess the impact of left versus right ventricular morphology. In 38 consecutive patients (median age = 16.

The aim was to investigate whether microdialysis catheters placed near the pancreaticojejunostomy can detect leakage earlier than the current standard of care.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with a median age 69 years were included.
