Abstract:
Clinical, hemodynamic and functional effects of tricuspid valve surgery in patients with Ebstein's anomaly are not well understood.Sixteen patients (median age of 27.7 years) were examined before and eight months after surgery by means of echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing.Peak work load (1.87 to 2.0W/kg; p=0.026), maximum oxygen uptake (21 to 22 ml/kg/min; p=0.034) as well as cardiac output (2.7 to 2.9l/min/m(2); p=0.035) increased...     »
