Abstract
Cardio respiratory exercise testing provides an objective measurement of aerobic exercise capacity in patients with congenital heart disease. Many patients with congenital heart disease have decreased exercise capacity despite a lack of symptoms. Patients with simple lesions tend to have better exercise capacity than those with complex lesions, but individual variation exists. The reasons for this impairment in exercise capacity cannot be explained by ventricular dysfunction alone. Chronotropic impairment, disturbances of pulmonary function and deconditioning also play a key role. In patients with congenital heart disease, cardio respiratory exercise testing has prognostic value and could be important in deciding the need for re-interventions.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
