Surrogates of Muscle Mass on Cardiac MRI Correlate with Exercise Capacity in Patients with Fontan Circulation

Surrogates of Muscle Mass on Cardiac MRI Correlate with Exercise Capacity in Patients with Fontan Circulation

Background: Sarcopenia is an increasingly recognized marker of frailty in cardiac patients. Patients with a history of congenital heart disease and Fontan procedure have a higher risk of developing progressive muscle wasting. Our objective was to determine if we could use routine cardiac MRI (CMR) f...
