Peripheral Vascular adaptation and Orthostatic Tolerance in Fontan Physiology

BACKGROUND: The Fontan circulation is critically dependent on elevated venous pressures to sustain effective venous return. We hypothesize that chronically increased systemic venous pressures lead to adaptive changes in regional and peripheral vessels to maintain cardiac output, especially when upri...
