Differences in cerebral and muscle oxygenation patterns during exercise in children with univentricular heart after Fontan operation compared to healthy peers

We assess whether the lower exercise tolerance in children with univentricular heart (UVH) after Fontan operation is associated with altered peripheral muscular and cerebral tissue oxygenation. 18 children with UVH and 20 healthy subjects performed an incremental ramp exercise test. Changes in the c...

Zusammenfassung:We assess whether the lower exercise tolerance in children with univentricular heart (UVH) after Fontan operation is associated with altered peripheral muscular and cerebral tissue oxygenation. 18 children with UVH and 20 healthy subjects performed an incremental ramp exercise test. Changes in the cerebral and muscular pattern of oxygenated (O2Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) and local tissue oxygenation (TOI) were analyzed by means of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS). Correlations between arterial saturation during exercise and tissue oxygenation were evaluated. In UVH, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak/kg, 28.9 ± 7.9 vs. 46.3 ± 11.9 ml/min/kg, P
