Peak Oxygen Uptake on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Is a Predictor for Severe Arrhythmic Events during Three-Year Follow-Up in Patients with Complex Congenital Heart Disease

Peak Oxygen Uptake on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Is a Predictor for Severe Arrhythmic Events during Three-Year Follow-Up in Patients with Complex Congenital Heart Disease

Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk for severe arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) effectively prevent SCD, risk stratification for primary prophylaxis in patients with CHD remains challenging. Patients with...
