Exercise intolerance in adult congenital heart disease: comparative severity, correlates, and prognostic implication.

TLDR
Exercise capacity is depressed in ACHD patients (even in allegedly asymptomatic patients) on a par with chronic heart failure subjects and is related to the frequency and duration of hospitalization.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although some patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) report limitations in exercise capacity, we hypothesized that depressed exercise capacity may be more widespread than s ...

Guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The Task Force on Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology.

TL;DR: Recent surveys of Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents published in peer-reviewed journals between 1985 and 1998 have shown that methodological standards were not complied with in the vast majority of cases.

Ejection fraction, peak exercise oxygen consumption, cardiothoracic ratio, ventricular arrhythmias, and plasma norepinephrine as determinants of prognosis in heart failure

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of prerandomization measurements on subsequent mortality was examined using data from the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Vasodilator-Heart Failure Trials (V-HeFT I, 641 patients; V-HEFT II, 804 patients).

Ejection fraction, peak exercise oxygen consumption, cardiothoracic ratio, ventricular arrhythmias, and plasma norepinephrine as determinants of prognosis in heart failure. The V-HeFT VA Cooperative Studies Group

TL;DR: Optimal assessment of the mortality risk in an individual or a group of individuals with heart failure uses measurement of EF, peak Vo2, CTR, plasma norepinephrine, and the presence of ventricular arrhythmias.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for prognosis in chronic heart failure: continuous and independent prognostic value from VE/VCO(2)slope and peak VO(2).

TL;DR: Lower peak VO2implies poorer prognosis across a range of values from 10 to 20ml, without a unique threshold, and gradations of elevation of the VE/VCO2slope also carry prognostic information over a wide range.

Neurohormonal Activation and the Chronic Heart Failure Syndrome in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

TL;DR: Neurohormonal activation in adult congenital heart disease bears the hallmarks of chronic heart failure, relating to symptom severity and ventricular dysfunction and not necessarily to anatomic substrate.
