Peripheral Vascular Adaptation and Orthostatic Tolerance in Fontan Physiology
Circulation, 10/23/09

Krishnan US et al. – Reduced venous compliance and increased filtration thresholds may act as adaptive mechanisms in maintaining venous return in Fontan circulation. Well–compensated Fontan subjects demonstrate superior orthostatic tolerance resulting from decreased compartmental fluid shifts in response to head–up tilt and higher vascular resistance. This results from increased venous stiffness and decreased splanchnic capacitance and may also be an adaptive mechanism to maintain venous return in these patients while standing.
