Left ventricular rotational abnormalities in patients with transposition of the great arteries late after atrial switch operation: detailed analysis from the CSONGRAD Registry and MAGYAR-Path Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart defects, when the origins of the main arteries are switched in position. The present retrospective cohort study aimed three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived determination of apical and basal morphologic left ventricular (mLV) rotations and twist in adults with dTGA late after atrial switch. It was also purposed to compare whether differences in mLV rotational parameters were present in Senning- and Mustard-operated subjects.

Methods

Sixteen dTGA patients were willing to participate late after atrial switch in this study, however, 6 subjects were excluded due to inferior image quality. The remaining group of 10 dTGA patients had a mean age of 2
