The algorithm for diagnosis of LV diastolic dysfunction by echocardiography requires accurate measurement of average E/e', septal and lateral e', left atrial volume index, and tricuspid regurgitation ...

The types of Fontan connection were atriopulmonary Fontan connection (n=234 [58%]), lateral tunnel/intra‐atrial conduit Fontan (n=87 [22%]), and extracardiac conduit Fontan (n=83 [21%]). Of the 404 ...

Future studies should explore the functional impact of these anatomical variations. Anatomically, each lateral ventricle comprises a body, an atrium, and three horns: frontal, inferior (temporal), and ...

(Tricuspid or pulmonary valve disease, by itself, is an infrequent cause of right-sided heart failure.) Stenosis of the mitral valve (the valve that lies between the left atrium and left ventricle), a ...
