Abstract
Maximal exercise capacity is reduced in adult patients after Mustard or Senning repair. Standard echocardiographic 2D-measurements are insufficient to determine the reduction in their functional capacity. The inverse relationship between age and the cardiac indices suggests an age dependent and progressive diminution of systemic ventricular function.
