Inefficient Ventriculoarterial Coupling in Fontan Patients: A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study

The ventriculoarterial coupling (VAC) ratio, the ratio of arterial elastance (Ea) to ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees), reflects cardiovascular efficiency. Little is known about this ratio in patients who have undergone the Fontan procedure. Our aim was to assess the VAC ratio in a cohort of...

description The ventriculoarterial coupling (VAC) ratio, the ratio of arterial elastance (Ea) to ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees), reflects cardiovascular efficiency. Little is known about this ratio in patients who have undergone the Fontan procedure. Our aim was to assess the VAC ratio in a cohort of Fontan patients using a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) method, and to examine its relation to outcomes. We retrospectively assessed VAC from CMR data on 195 Fontan patients (age 19.6 ± 10.7 years) and 42 controls (age 15.2 ± 2.2 years). The VAC ratio was calculated as Ea/Ees (Ea = mean arterial blood pressure (MBP)/ventricular stroke volume; Ees = MBP/end-systolic volume). Compared with controls, Fontan patients had lower body surface area-adjusted median Ees (1.54 vs. 2.4, p
