Pulmonary vasodilators and exercise in Fontan circulation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Heart BMJ

Objective In Fontan circulation, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-targeted therapies could improve the patients’ exercise capacity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PAH agents on different exercise parameters in stable Fontan patients by synthesising evidence of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
