O2 pulse slope correlates with stroke volume during exercise in patients with a Fontan circulation
Background Peak oxygen pulse (O2pulse=oxygen consumption/heart rate) is calculated by the product of stroke volume (SV) and oxygen extraction. It has been shown to be reduced in patients with a Fontan circulation. However, in the Fontan population, it may be a poor marker of SV. We propose that the...
