However, there have been few studies addressing cardiac autonomic nervous activity (CANA) in these patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>\n                        <jats:bold>\n                          <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n                        <\/jats:bold>\n                      <\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    We evaluated CANA in 63 post-Fontan patients and 44 controls. Cardiac parasympathetic nervous activity (PSNA) was estimated by heart rate (HR) changes after cholinergic blockade, HR variability, and arterial baroreflex sensitivity. Cardiac sympathetic nervous activity was estimated by the heart to mediastinum [\n                    <jats:sup>123<\/jats:sup>\n                    I]metaiodobenzylguanidine activity ratio (H\/M) and the HR increase (\u0394HR) after isoproterenol infusion (\u03b2). \u0394HR and peak oxygen uptake (V\u0307\n                    <jats:sc>o<\/jats:sc>\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) were measured by exercise test. There was no difference in \u03b2 between the Fontan group and controls. PSNA and H\/M were markedly lower than in controls (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001). PSNA and \u03b2 were related to \u0394HR (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05); however, peak V\u0307\n                    <jats:sc>o<\/jats:sc>\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    was not correlated with \u0394HR. Neither PSNA nor H\/M was associated with clinical features, including hemodynamics, type of repair, number of surgical procedures, age at Fontan operation, or follow-up period, and administration of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor did not improve the impaired CANA in these patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>\n                        <jats:bold>\n                          <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                        <\/jats:bold>\n                      <\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    After the Fontan procedure, postsynaptic \u03b2-sensitivity is maintained and is important in \u0394HR during exercise as is PSNA, although \u0394HR does not determine exercise capacity. The lack of a relationship between CANA and clinical features implies that, in addition to surgical damage, the Fontan circulation per se may impair CANA. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor administration does not change this abnormality.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/hc3801.096326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]],"date-time":"2007-09-28T14:31:09Z","timestamp":1190989869000},"page":"1513-1518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":84,"title":["Severely Impaired Cardiac Autonomic Nervous Activity After the Fontan Operation"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Hideo","family":"Ohuchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Hasegawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Yasuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Osamu","family":"Yamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuo","family":"Ono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shigeyuki","family":"Echigo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, National Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(86)80227-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(01)01266-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s002469900337"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.76.1.77"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circ.102.22.2732"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(85)80269-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(99)80294-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cvr\/4.1.23"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9673(00)82088-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","first-page":"455","volume":"25","year":"1991","unstructured":"Hama N, Nakao K, Mukoyama M, et al.
