Ventricular and arterial properties in Fontan (FON) patients and controls (CON). The regression lines and the 95% CIs for the regression are shown. Arterial elastance (Ea) varies similarly with heart rate in control and Fontan patients (A). The increase of end‐systolic elastance (Ees) with Ea in single left ventricle (SLV) and single right ventricle (SRV) Fontan patients was blunted compared to control (B). Ventricular efficiency decreases more dramatically with heart rate in Fontan (P for slope difference, <0.05 for both) than control patients (C and D). bpm, beats per minute.
