Pediheart Podcast #197: Is Liver Volume Associated With Outcomes In The Fontan Patient?




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we delve into the world of the single ventricle patient when we speak with Dr. Adam Lubert of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Center about a recent work he co-authored on MRI imaging of the liver in the Fontan patient. Can simple liver metrics help predict hemodynamics or even outcomes in the single ventricle patient with a Fontan? What is the optimal way to image the liver in this patient group? Are there congenital patients other than Fontan patients who might merit liver imaging? Professor Lubert shares his deep insights this week. <br>doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2021.10.045.
