Objectives: The role of endocannabinoid system has been associated with cardioprotection, inflammation and fibrosis. Experimental studies showed a role for inflammation and active remodelling in myocardial hypertrophy. Therefore, we investigated the association of endocannabinoid system with myocardial hypertrophy in patients with aortic stenosis.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare outcome in patients undergoing a Norwood procedure with a right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit versus a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) with emphasis on development of pulmonary arteries and right ventricular parameters.
