MRI Phase-Contrast Blood Flow in Fasting Pediatric Patients with Fontan Circulation Correlates with Exercise Capacity

CONCLUSION: Reference ranges are provided for regional systemic blood flow derived by using MRI in fasting pediatric patients with Fontan circulation, who had lower systemic blood flow compared with healthy volunteers. Lower fasting Fontan blood flow correlated with lower exercise capacity.Keywords: Pediatrics, Heart, Congenital, MR Imaging, Hemodynamics/Flow Dynamics, Cardiac Supplemental material is available for this article. © RSNA, 2022.
