Ventricular function and dyssynchrony in children with a functional single right ventricle using real time three-dimensional echocardiography after fontan operation.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) for assessing ventricular systolic dysfunction and dyssynchrony in children with an functional single right ventricle (FSRV) having undergone the Fontan procedure.

Methods: Twenty-five children with an FSRV and 25 healthy children were enrolled in our study. RV volume analysis was performed compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the reference standard in FSRV patients.

Velocity vector imaging for the assessment of segmental ventricular function in children with a single right ventricle after cavopulmonary anastomosis.

Objective: Ventricular function assessment is very important for the treatment and prognostic classification of children with a single right ventricle (SRV) after cavopulmonary anastomosis (CPA). However, unusual ventricular shapes can result in inaccurate measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate velocity vector imaging (VVI) for assessing segmental ventricular function in children with SRV after CPA.

Ventricular Twisting and Dyssynchrony in Children with Single Left Ventricle Using Three-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Imaging after the Fontan Operation.

Background: The importance of left ventricular (LV) twisting has been recognized in various types of heart disease, but no studies have investigated twisting of functional single ventricle using echocardiography. This study aimed to evaluate LV twisting and dyssynchrony of children with single left ventricle (SLV) after the Fontan operation and explore the relationship between twisting motion and ventricular contractility using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3DSTI).

Methods: Thirty-five children with SLV and 35 healthy children (controls) were enrolled.

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Volumes and Function by Real Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography in Children with Functional Single Left Ventricle: A Comparison between QLAB and TomTec.

Background: Real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) provides a reliable analysis of left ventricular (LV) volume. Despite a wide spectrum of tracking algorithms presently available, which software is most suitable for evaluating functional single left ventricle (FLSV) is unknown. Herein, we compared two of the most commonly used 3DE algorithms for quantification of LV volumes in the pediatric population with FLSV.

Assessment of longitudinal systolic ventricular dysfunction and asynchrony using velocity vector imaging in children with a single right ventricle.

Assessment of ventricular dysfunction and asynchrony is very important in predicting the outcome for children with a single right ventricle. However, the assessment is inaccurate and subjective because of the unusual ventricular shape. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of velocity vector imaging for assessing longitudinal systolic ventricular dysfunction and intraventricular asynchrony in children with a single right ventricle.

Echocardiographic assessment of juxtaposition of the right atrial appendage in children with congenital heart disease.

The objective of this study was to analyze the echocardiographic characteristics of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages and to determine its prevalence in children with congenital heart disease. From June 1998 to December 2008, 10,880 children underwent selective angiocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and echocardiography for evaluation of congenital heart disease. Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages was diagnosed based on the results of angiocardiography and MRI; the echocardiographic characteristics of this anomaly were analyzed retrospectively.
