Biological Aging May Predict Long-Term Health After Fontan Surgery

Original: Biological Aging Offers Clues to Long-Term Health After Fontan Surgery

Stanford Medicine researchers report that measures of biological aging could help predict long-term health outcomes in patients who have undergone Fontan surgery, a procedure used to treat certain congenital heart defects. By tracking how quickly patients' bodies age at a biological level, clinicians may gain a new tool for anticipating complications and tailoring follow-up care for this growing adult population.

Why now: New research links biological aging markers to outcomes for Fontan surgery patients, a topic of interest to cardiologists and families affected by congenital heart disease.
