Department of Pediatric Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease, German Heart Centre, Technical University Munich, Lazarettstr. 36, 80636 Munich, Germany.
Aims: Inefficient ventricular-arterial (V-A) coupling has been described in Fontan patients and may result in adverse haemodynamics. A varying amount of aortopulmonary collateral (APC) flow is also frequently present that increases volume load of the single ventricle. The aim of the study was to assess changes in V-A coupling and APC flow during exercise CMR.

Objective: The goal was to determine whether computed tomographic (CT) scans led to better acute care of young children with headache presenting the emergency department (ED).
Methods: We examined the records of 364 children 2 to 5 years of age who presented with headache to a large urban ED between July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2006. By reviewing initial history and examination findings, we first identified patients with secondary headaches (ie, with readily identifiable explanations such as ventriculoperitoneal shunts, known brain tumors, or acute illnesses, such as viral syndromes, fever, probable meningitis, or trauma).
