Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Truncus arteriosus, type two repair
Ventricular tracking shows the cardiac care
Seventy percent baseline, LV strong and true
RV function good, pre-operative view
Monitor the chambers through the journey ahead
Function tells the story, keeps the patient well-fed

[Chorus]
Track the numbers, watch them rise and fall
Seventy to fifty-eight, then climbing up the wall
LV EF tells us how the heart will mend
Robust function means a better end
Good, satisfactory, back to good again
Ventricular tracking is the surgeon's best friend

[Verse 2]
Post-op day seven, fifty-eight percent
Bypass depression, but it's not permanent
Expected decline from the surgical stress
RV satisfactory, but we're watching progress
Don't panic at the drop, it's part of the plan
Recovery takes time, we'll track what we can

[Chorus]
Track the numbers, watch them rise and fall
Seventy to fifty-eight, then climbing up the wall
LV EF tells us how the heart will mend
Robust function means a better end
Good, satisfactory, back to good again
Ventricular tracking is the surgeon's best friend

[Bridge]
Three months later, sixty-seven climbing high
RV back to good, see the function qualify
Seven months stable, sixty-eight holding strong
Even with conduit gradient, nothing's going wrong
Post-intervention, sixty-five and still maintained
Robust LV function, positive signs we've gained

[Verse 3]
Five time points mapped across the healing course
Tracking both ventricles, monitoring the force
Left side stays robust, a prognostic sign so bright
Right side follows suit, recovery in sight
From baseline through intervention, every beat we measure
Ventricular function is our clinical treasure

[Chorus]
Track the numbers, watch them rise and fall
Seventy to fifty-eight, then climbing up the wall
LV EF tells us how the heart will mend
Robust function means a better end
Good, satisfactory, back to good again
Ventricular tracking is the surgeon's best friend

[Outro]
Serial assessment guides the treatment plan
Truncus repair success measured span by span
Keep the function strong, track the cardiac flow
Ventricular monitoring helps the healing grow
