Patients With Single-Ventricle Physiology: Prognostic Implications of Stress Testing

This study used a retrospective analysis of adults with single-ventricle physiology to ascertain the predictive power of cardiopulmonary stress-testing parameters in determining patients at increased risk of suffering from adverse clinical outcomes. We found that the specific parameters of percent o...

Description
Summary:This study used a retrospective analysis of adults with single-ventricle physiology to ascertain the predictive power of cardiopulmonary stress-testing parameters in determining patients at increased risk of suffering from adverse clinical outcomes. We found that the specific parameters of percent of maximum predicted heart rate achieved and maximum oxygen consumption were significantly correlated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease.
