Long term ventricular performance after intra-atrial correction of transposition: left ventricular filling is the major limitation

摘要

Conclusions-The incidence of systolic ventricular dysfunction is 8/100 (right ven- tricle) and 10/100 (left ventricle) 13 years after surgery, without a significant in- crease over the eight year follow up. Diastolic filling is abnormal in up to 80/100 Of patients and left ventricular peak filling Rate deteriorates with time. Objective-To establish the incidence of Systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the Right and left ventricle in a large cohort of Patients after Mustard of Senning opera- Tions and to assess changes in the inci- Dence on long term follow up.
