ACC/AHA Guidelines - Recommendations for Medical Therapy (DO NOT EDIT)
| Class I |
| "1.Warfarin should be given for patients who have a documented atrial shunt, atrial thrombus, atrial arrhythmias, or a thromboembolic event.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| Class IIa |
| "1.It is reasonable to treat systemic ventricle (SV) dysfunction with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and diuretics.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
ACC/AHA Guidelines - Recommendations for Management Strategies for the Patient with Prior Fontan Repair (DO NOT EDIT)
| Class I |
| "1.Management of patients with prior Fontan repair should be coordinated with a regional ACHD center. Local cardiologists, internists, and family care physicians should develop ongoing relationships with such a center with continuous availability of specialists.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "a.At least yearly follow-up is recommended for patients after Fontan repair.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "b.Arrhythmia management is frequently an issue, and consultation with an electrophysiologist is recommended as a vital part of care.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "c.New-onset atrial tachyarrhythmia should prompt a comprehensive noninvasive imaging evaluation to identify associated atrial/baffle thrombus, anatomic abnormalities of the Fontan pathway, or ventricular dysfunction.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
