Atrial Function and Its Role in the Non-invasive Evaluation of Diastolic Function in Congenital Heart Disease

摘要: Diastolic dysfunction has correlated with adverse outcomes in various forms of unrepaired and repaired or palliated congenital heart disease (CHD). The non-invasive assessment diastolic function pediatric adult patients CHD remains challenging. Atrial size a pivotal role the evaluation function; however, growing body evidence supports additional atrial as more sensitive parameter ventricular dysfunction. While importance is becoming clearer acquired disease, it ambiguous those CHD. In this review we set stage current understanding CHD, followed by insight into form including its assessment, conclude knowledge A general pattern decrease reservoir conduit compensatory increase decompensatory contractile seems to be common pathway most
