Pediheart Podcast # 68: Pulmonary Flow Maldistribution In The Fontan and Its Implications

This week we explore a recent CMR study in Fontan patients assessing the impact of pulmonary blood flow maldistribution and exercise capacity. How closely associated are these differences in relative pulmonary blood flow to functional status and overall outcomes? How aggressively should we intervene for these sorts of problems? We discuss these issues and more with Dr. Rahul Rathod who is the senior author of this work and also Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School. doi: 10.1186/s12968-018-0505-4
