To document and quantitate changes in right ventricular (RV) geometry and
heart rate, we prospectively examined 35 consecutive patients with
hypoplastic left heart syndrome under steady-state conditions (chloral
hydrate sedation) before and after a bidirectional cavopulmonary
anastomosis (hemi-Fontan) procedure. Right ventricular end-diastolic volume
(RVEDV) was calculated as the product of RV cavity areas in two orthogonal
planes divided by RV maximal length in either plane. After the hemi-Fontan
procedure, RVEDV decreased by 33% from 33 +/- 13 to 22 +/- 11 mL (mean +/-
standard deviation). Indexed RVEDV decreased from 86 +/- 37 to 57 +/- 28
mL/m2. The RV wall thickness at the diaphragm in subcostal frontal view
(RVWD) increased by only 11% from 8 +/- 0.2 to 9 +/- 0.2 mm (p = not
significant), but RVWD/RVEDV increased by 111% from 0.36 +/- 0.22 to 0.76
+/- 0.69 mm/mL (p = 0.002). The RV anterior wall thickness in subcostal
sagittal view (RVWA) increased by only 13% from 7 +/- 0.2 to 8 +/- 0.2 mm
(p = not significant), but RVWA/RVEDV increased by 103% from 0.31 +/- 0.20
to 0.63 +/- 0.54 mm/mL (p = 0.002). In 11 of 35 patients (31%), resting
heart rate did not change (118 +/- 14 versus 108 +/- 9 beats/min; p = not
significant); however, in 24 of 35 patients (69%), heart rate increased
significantly (108 +/- 9 versus 127 +/- 10 beats/min; p = 0.05). In
conclusion, RV wall thickness is high before the hemi-Fontan procedure and
increases slightly in the first postoperative week.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT
