Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the interrelationships between health status and measures of cardiac performance in children 6 to 18 years of age with congenital heart disease who have undergone a Fontan procedure as surgical treatment for functional single ventricle. The goal was to develop a data set that will permit identification of a clinically relevant endpoint for subsequent trials of medical management of the Fontan patient.


Clinical Trial Description

BACKGROUND:

Children born with one functional ventricle and who undergo a Fontan procedure, have a higher incidence of late complications than other congenital heart patients. While the Fontan procedure results in restoring near-normal systemic oxygen saturation, there are recognized problems and little information about the overall health status, functional status and ventricular performance in these children.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

This cross-sectional observational study included children 6-18 years of age who had undergone a Fontan procedure for a congenital cardiac defect. Prospective data collection for each patient occured within a 3 month time period and included cardiac MRI, echocardiography, serology and exercise testing. Historical clinical and surgical data, as well as parent and child self reports of health status, was collected. ;
