Liver stiffness in Fontan patients: the effect of respiration and food intake

ObjectivesFor several years, patients with single ventricle hearts have been palliated according to the Fontan principle. One well known long-term consequence in these patients is the Fontan-associated liver disease and fibrosis, which occurs due to the chronically increased Central Venous Pressure...
