The Effect of Left Ventricular Size on Right Ventricular Hemodynamics in Pediatric Survivors with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

In surviving patients with HLHS, larger LV size does not seem to negatively impact RV function before or after Norwood procedure nor does it seem to have an adverse effect on RV function chronically (after Fontan). However, further study with larger population size will be necessary to see whether these findings remain negative and are true for nonsurvivors as well.
