Scientific reports, Volume 11, Issue 1, 22 4 2021, Pages 6507 Reduced scan time and superior image quality with 3D flow MRI compared to 4D flow MRI for hemodynamic evaluation of the Fontan pathway. Rijnberg FM, van Assen HC, Juffermans JF, Kroft LJM, van den Boogaard PJ, de Koning PJH, Hazekamp MG, van der Woude SFS, Warmerdam EG, Leiner T, Grotenhuis HB, Goeman JJ, Lamb HJ, Roest AAW, Westenberg JJM
Long scan times prohibit a widespread clinical applicability of 4D flow MRI in Fontan patients. As pulsatility in the Fontan pathway is minimal during the cardiac cycle, acquiring non-ECG gated 3D flow MRI may result in a reduction of scan time while accurately obtaining time-averaged clinical parameters in comparison with 2D and 4D flow MRI. Thirty-two Fontan patients prospectively underwent 2D (reference), 3D and 4D flow MRI of the Fontan pathway. Multiple clinical parameters were assessed fro... Abstract

Pediatric cardiology, Volume 42, Issue 4, 1 1 2021, Pages 866-874 Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope is Strongly Correlated to VO<sub>2peak</sub> Long-Term After Arterial Switch Operation. Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Van der Palen RLF, Hazekamp MG, Rammeloo L, Jongbloed MRM, Blom NA, Harkel ADJT
After the arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA), many patients have an impaired exercise tolerance. Exercise tolerance is determined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Unlike VO2peak, the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) does not require a maximal effort for interpretation. The value of OUES has not been assessed in a large group of patients after ASO. The purpose of this study was to determine OUES and VO2peak, eva... Abstract

Pediatric cardiology, Volume 41, Issue 5, 4 1 2020, Pages 1042-1050 Left and Right Ventricular Impairment Shortly After Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot. Terol C, Kamphuis VP, Hazekamp MG, Blom NA, Ten Harkel ADJ
Surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is usually performed in the first months of life with low early postoperative mortality. During long-term follow-up, however, both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) performances may deteriorate. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking echocardiography (ST) can unmask a diminished RV and LV performance. The objective of the current study was to assess the cardiac performance before and shortly after corrective surgery in ToF patients using... Abstract
