Effect of respiration on cardiac filling at rest and during exercise in Fontan patients: A clinical and computational modeling study

BACKGROUND: Due to the absence of a sub-pulmonary ventricle, the Fontan circulation is sensitive to respiration-induced changes in intrathoracic pressure. However, the importance of a ‘respiratory pump’ in creating forward flow remains controversial. We aimed at evaluating the effect of respiration...
