Serial Assessment of Right Ventricular Deformation in Patients With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: A Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking Study.

ABSTRACT: Background As right ventricular dysfunction is a major cause of adverse outcome in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the aim was to assess right ventricular function and deformation after Fontan completion by performing 2-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking in serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance studies. Methods and Results Cardiovascular magnetic resonance examinations of 108 patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (female: 31) were analyzed. Short-axis cine images were used for right ventricular volumetry. Two-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking was performed using long-axis and short-axis cine images to measure myocardial global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strain. All patients had at least 2 card
