Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe exercise performance during the first 2
decades of life in Fontan survivors by a cross-sectional study and to identify factors that …

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is deterioration of aerobic
capacity over time after the Fontan operation in individual patients. Background. We …

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the influences of ventricular morphology,
hemodynamics and clinical findings on exercise capacity in patients after the Fontan …

OBJECTIVES.: The clinical status and exercise assessment of adult patients late after the
Fontan operation were reviewed to determine cardiovascular function. BACKGROUND.: The …

Objectives. This study sought to measure the cardiorespiratory responses to exercise and to
identify the perioperative determinants of exercise performance in children, adolescents and …

Background The Fontan procedure, the last of a series of operations performed in patients
with congenital heart defects, offers improved exercise capacity compared to baseline …

Objective. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between exercise test
data and mortality in patients who have had the Fontan procedure. Design. The study was …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that older Fontan patients and those with an
underlying morphologically right ventricle have lower exercise capacity. We sought to …

Patients with previous Fontan surgery have reduced peak oxygen consumption (V o 2), and
data regarding progression of exercise intolerance is limited. The purpose of this study was …

Objectives: To determine physical activity levels in paediatric patients who underwent the
Fontan procedure, and their relationship to functional status and exercise capacity. Study …
