Lung function and aerobic capacity in adult patients following modified Fontan procedure
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine cardiopulmonary performance in 52 adult patients with a Fontan circulation.
DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. Values of maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2)max), maximum heart rate (HRmax), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) were compared with predictive values for different age groups. Patients were further subdivided into those with a pulmonary artery connection (RA-PA) or right …
