Because altered blood volume, venous capacitance, and venous tone may weaken the relationship between IVC morphology and systemic venous pressure, it is uncertain whether these criteria apply in the Fontan circulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 101 adults with a Fontan circulation (median age 27.8 years), echocardiographic IVC and resting peripheral venous pressure (PVP) were measured simultaneously. ASE\/EACVI guidelines were applied directly, estimating central venous pressure based on IVC diameter &gt; 21\u00a0mm and collapsibility &lt; 50%. Agreement with measured PVP categories was assessed using weighted \u03ba. As a secondary post hoc analysis, IVC diameter and collapsibility thresholds were optimized within the same cohort to assess whether simple recalibration could materially improve agreement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Median resting PVP was 10.6 (8.6\u201313.1) mmHg, and 21% had PVP \u2265 15\u00a0mmHg.
