• Classic pattern dyssynchrony is associated with outcome in patients with Fontan circulation 

      Rosner, Assami; Diab, Simone Goa; McElhinney, Doff B.; Friedberg, Mark K.; Lui, George K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)
      Background - Morbidity and mortality increase as Fontan patients age into adulthood. Limited studies have examined cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiographic parameters to predict death and transplantation in children after the Fontan operation. The aim of this study was to investigate echocardiographic parameters in adolescents and adults after Fontan operation, including myocardial mechanics ...

    • Impact of Right Ventricular Geometry and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy on Right Ventricular Mechanics and Clinical Outcomes in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome 

      Rösner, Assami; Bharucha, Tara; James, Adam; Mertens, Luc; Friedberg, Mark K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-24)
      <i>Background</i> - Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of survival in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). However, the relation of RV geometry to myocardial mechanics and their relation to transplant-free survival are incompletely characterized.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - We retrospectively studied 48 HLHS patients from the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, (median ...
