Pediheart Podcast #325: Cardiovascular Outcomes In The HLHS Fontan Patient Versus Other Single RV Fontan Patients

This week we review a recent large scale, multicenter adult congenital heart study on outcomes of HLHS Fontan patients versus other single RV Fontan patients. How do the two groups compare in regards to thromboembolic risk, risk for arrhythmia or risk for death and heart transplantation? Why might there be differences between these single RV patient groups? How can these results inform management? We speak with Assistant Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, ACHD expert Dr. Kali Hopkins.
