Background:Patients with Fontan palliation have reduced aerobic capacity because of impaired cardiac, pulmonary, and skeletal muscle function. We assessed the correlates of predicted peak VO2, and the relationship between predicted peak VO2quartiles and cardiovascular outcomes (death/transplant).Results:Of 15.2 - 23.9)

CV mortality is the composite endpoint for CV mortality + urgent transplant + left ventricular assist device implantation. However, data on clinical characteristics, exercise performance and prognosis in HF patients who improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) are scarce. Events per 1000 person-years. # ml/min, peak oxygen uptake 62.2

Chronic Pulmonary Disease Lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to pulmonary hypertension, which in turn can cause the right side of the heart to enlarge, a condition known as cor pulmonale. Heart Transplant may be considered in severe cases where other treatments have failed.

I admitted her to cardiology with these concerns, and we agreed that cardiac MRI may help us confirm possible ARVC. Overall CMR findings are consistent with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
