| Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of hybrid stage 1 palliation on right ventricular myocardial pathology in hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Sufficient amount of right ventricular biopsies could be obtained from 16 of 32 patients who underwent Norwood operation between 2007 and 2013. Histopathological findings of right ventricle in patients who underwent primary Norwood operation (primary group, n = 5), patients with aortic atresia (HS1P AA group, n = 6) or aortic stenosis (HS1P AS group, n = 5) who underwent staged Norwood palliation following hybrid stage 1 palliation were compared. To eliminate the influence of right ventricular pressure afterload, right ventricular biopsies were obtained from patients with truncus arteriosus communis (TAC group, n = 6) at total correction. The percentage of myocardial fibrosis was significantly higher in both HS1P groups than in TAC group; moreover, it was significantly higher in HS1P AA group than in primary group. Capillary vascular density was significantly lower in all hypoplastic left heart syndrome groups than in TAC group. At the sub-endocardial layer, collagen type I/III ratios were higher in HS1P AA group than in other hypoplastic left heart syndrome groups. The proportions of N-cadherin immunolocalized to myocyte termini were lower in all hypoplastic left heart syndrome groups than in TAC group. Right ventricle in hypoplastic left heart syndrome showed more significant ischemic change and myocardial immaturity than that in truncus arteriosus communis. Hybrid stage 1 palliation for aortic atresia would be a risk factor for further right ventricular myocardial ischemia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,590,133
of 23,026,672 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#864
of 1,414 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#258,274
of 332,332 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#17
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,026,672 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,414 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,332 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
