Objectives: We evaluated the impact of peak respiratory exchange ratio on the prognostic
values of cardiopulmonary exercise variables during symptoms-limited incremental exercise …

Objectives: Many patients with Fontan physiology are unable to achieve the minimum
criteria for peak effort during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The purpose of this study is …

Objective Exercise impairment is common in Fontan patients. Our aim is to systematically
review previous literature to determine the prognostic value of exercise capacity in older …

Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing performance has been shown to be a
predictor of morbidity, mortality, and quality of life in patients with Fontan physiology; …

Fontan cohort, in whom maximal exercise effort is often limited. Methods: Fifty-two Fontan
patients received cardiopulmonary exercise tests at least 12 months after Fontan …

Background In people with a Fontan circulation, serial cardiopulmonary exercise testing
(CPET) to evaluate change in peak exercise capacity has been increasingly recognised as a …

In the pediatric population, exercise capacity differs between females and males and the
gap widens through adolescence. However, specific age-and sex-based changes in …

The unique, unphysiological Fontan circulation is associated with an impaired functional
status of the patients that is suggested to deteriorate over time. Unfortunately, previous …

We aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of exercise physiology of adult Fontan
patients (FP) and factors limiting functional capacity (FC). A prospective single-centre study …

Background Exercise capacity is usually reduced in Fontan patients, however there is a
subset of patients who have normal exercise capacity and better outcomes, the “Super …
