Recurrent exacerbations of protein-losing enteropathy after initiation of growth hormone therapy in a Fontan patient controlled with spironolactone.

abstract：PURPOSE:Right ventricular (RV) failure and ventricular dyssynchrony are strong determinants of prognosis in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between interventricular dyssynchrony (IVD) using cine-tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and RV...
