What is Fontan operation?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

It is an operation used for certain types of congenital heart disease, typically for tricuspid atresia. Fontan surgery is basically a univentricular type of repair in which lungs are supplied through the Fontan circuit while the functional ventricle is used to pump blood to the aorta.

Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Classical example of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is torsade de pointes associated with congenital or acquired QT interval prolongation. Beta blockers are needed in addition, for most persons with congenital long QT syndrome. Another rare form of ventricular tachycardia is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.
