Excerpt

Ventricular dysfunction in patients with a single right ventricle (SRV) or a single left ventricle (SLV) is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality. In normal hearts, LV and RV augment each other, while this is not possible in single ventricle (SV) patients. Ventricular-ventricular relationship in SV patients remain poorly understood, with only a few studies performed [1-3]. Our earlier results show a decreased peak circumferential (εcc) and longitudinal (εL) strain in SV patients when compared to a normal population [4]. However, an increase in longitudinal strain is noted in regions of decreased circumferential strain. …
