O2 pulse slope correlates with stroke volume during exercise in patients with a Fontan circulation

Open Heart

It has been shown to be reduced in patients with a Fontan circulation. Results In cohort A, peak aortic flow was moderately and significantly associated with O 2 pulseslope PEAK (r=0.47, p=0.02).
