The median follow-up period after the first Fontan operation was 27 (range, 21-33) years, and the median age of those examined was 33.5 (range, 24-60) years. There were 6 male patients (50%). The cardiac index showed a significant positive correlation with the expansion index (P\u2009=\u20090.02), the atrial ejection fraction (P\u2009=\u20090.035), and the active ejection fraction (P\u2009=\u20090.013). The expansion index (39.2\u2009\u00b1\u200919.6 vs 64.1\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9), atrial ejection fraction (26.6\u2009\u00b1\u200910.9 vs 39.0\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5%), booster pump (15.6\u2009\u00b1\u20099.0 vs 31.3\u2009\u00b1\u20093.5) and cardiac index (2.1\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3 vs 2.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.2\u2009L\/min\/m2) were significantly lower in patients with a history of arrhythmia than in patients without a history of arrhythmia (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The expansion index (23.5\u2009\u00b1\u200913.5 vs 59.5\u2009\u00b1\u20098.7), atrial ejection fraction (18.1\u2009\u00b1\u20098.6 vs 37.1\u2009\u00b1\u20093.7) and active ejection fraction (7.3\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7 vs 27.7\u2009\u00b1\u20095.2) were significantly lower in failing Fontan patients than in non-failing Fontan patients (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01).<\/jats:p>\n
