Abnormal Lung Function in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: Prevalence, Relation to Cardiac Anatomy, and Association With Survival
Abstract
Background— Restrictive lung defects are associated with higher mortality in patients with acquired chronic heart failure. We investigated the prevalence of abnormal lung function, its relation to severity of underlying cardiac defect, its surgical history, and its impact on outcome across the spectrum of adult congenital heart disease. Methods and Results— A total of 1188 patients with adult congenital heart disease (age, 33.1±13.1 years)...
