Abstract
Introduction. As the result of intracardiac hemodynamics in utero, TAPVC patients have diminished LV size and volume after birth. The influence of intracardiac hemodynamics in utero at systolic and diastolic function of LV in the long-term period after surgical correction should be studied.
Objective: evaluation of systolic and diastolic function of left ventricle in the long-term period after surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Material and methods. There were included 20 patients after TAPVC surgery. The systolic and diastolic LV function was evaluated at all included patients in the long-term period after surgical correction.
Results. The evaluation of systolic and diastolic LV function done from 1,9 to 19.3 (7; 5.7÷12.5) years after surgery showed that Z-score of echocardiographic indicators had been within normal age ranges and had not been associated with age, weight or obstructive pulmonary bloodflow at the time of the TAPVC surgery.
Conclusion. As the result of our study, we did not reveal echocardiographic data showed or confirmed the relationship between intracardiac hemodynamics in utero and early postnatal period and impairment of systolic and diastolic function of the LV myocardium in the late postoperative period.
